Does anyone know of a place or shop or store that rents or loans the tools I need to replace my valve seals? Since our valves are inside the head I can't use a regular valve compressor, I need the one that looks like a lever or whatever. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Question about replacing my valve seals.
- Thread starter im2bad4ya

I was able to git r done using a large c clamp, a block of wood, and a spacer made from a piece of aluminum tubing.... but there are tools specifically for compressing the valve springs on OHV engines like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)
I don't plan on removing he block from the head and the springs are deep inside the block. So my question is how were you able to use the tool you showed me?
If I'm not mistaken I need something more like this http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/rmwje.zopze/v/vspfiles/photos/RMI-TO-201-2.jpg

YOu want to change valve seals without removing the head? Yea, good luck with that...
thanks, but I don't need luck, I just need the tools. Was just trying to see if anyone knew where I could rent or get them on loan. If I can't I'll take it on the chin and buy the tools. Already have my how-to: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/show...-1-8-(non-turbo)-valve-stem-seals-replacement

It's doable with the right tools. Was thinking of going that route of removing block from head, but I'd rather not go through all that.
