Typically you would first move the cylinder you are working on to TDC on the compression stroke, then feed something like a piece of cotton rope in through the spark plug hole until the combustion chamber is filled. Next, hook up your lever arm device and compress the valve spring and remove the keepers. A guy on the GS Resources did this but it was a one off. Not common. And sorry, but I'm not sure how he created the tool.

This is why your seals are bad. This tool damages valves and valves damage seals. Ask if your engine guy used the tool. If he did, you need new valves.Madtrout wrote: Lisle valve keeper removal
