Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Hey guys - could someone give me a list of all the special tools that are needed or helpful in swapping the cam and valve springs on the 24V? I'd like to know anything needed other than your basic wrenches and sockets.
I'm kind of going into this project blind so any tools that helped you along the way are appreciated. I already know that I'll need the valve spring compressor (Lisle 16570) and will need to make the dowel rods to support the lifters.
Does anyone have a picture of what modifications need to be made to the end of each dowel rod? I really have no idea exactly what type of slit and taper needs to be done.
Am I correct in assuming that the lifter still has a chance of dropping into the pan when using the dowel rods? Or is there no chance that they could "slip off" the end of the rod? It seems like it would be a pretty delicate process as far as making sure they are seated on the dowel.
Thanks for all the help! My Helix 2 is going to be ordered tomorrow! Oo.
