January 20, 20214 yr Author comment_614802 Can someone elaborate in the correct and safe procedure to remove the cylinder head and replace the broken or torn valve seals on cylinder 4? I watch a video on youtube of a guy inserting a rope inside cylinder 4 and a special tool to decompress the retainer spring. I guess its.better to remove the complete head. Also which gaskets will i need to replace?

January 20, 20214 yr comment_614804 I don't see the need to remove the head. Either way you'll have to come up with a valve spring compressor. IF, the compression is satisfactory in all cylinders, leave the head on. Removing it may open a Pandora's Box of broken bolts and studs. The rope in the cylinder and the lever action spring compressor is the easiest method of changing the seals. Watch several different videos until you can't find anything else to learn and then go for it. That's what I do.

January 20, 20214 yr comment_614805 I agree with Mr Maras. You are only focused #4 so I assume you'll pull the head for that one cylinder? I would take the easiest route and try the rope technique first. He's right you'll need a valve spring compressor. The first time I had to do that I bought a $15 from a chain store. It worked for me.

January 21, 20214 yr comment_614817 Thanks, but No Thanks. I waded into the corporate world of banking and manufacturing when I was younger. I started to run into superiors? that asked me for a loyalty oath. That told me all I needed to know. Long story short, I found that creating something with my mind and hands, as well as treating others as US rather than THEM , to be far more satisfying than chasing money and power.

January 21, 20214 yr comment_614818 A Banker!? I would've never guessed that. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/62317-random-misfire-while-cruising/?&page=9#findComment-614818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 21, 20214 yr comment_614820 He didn't say he was a banker. He said he was in the "world of banking and manufacturing". I'm guessing he was "manufacturing" something that went into a bank.... They demand loyalty in the printing industry, right?

January 21, 20214 yr comment_614822 Wow, you're good. Check printing, credit card embossing along with all the paperwork that banks used back then. Curiously, later on as I tried other occupations, I ran into that same loyalty oath in the upper management. That was one of the things in my life that drove me to study Behavioral Psychology. I found the answers to a lot of "Abby Normal" behavior there.

January 21, 20214 yr comment_614823 Haha!! Actually it was an accidental hit. I was joking that maybe you were printing something more green. On your printing press in the basement.

January 21, 20214 yr comment_614825 I must admit, the thought did cross my mind. Especially with access to the supplies. Back to the loyalty oath. It had nothing to do with security. On the contrary, it had everything to do with insecurity.
