Merry Christmas!

The valve won't turn or move, it's bent. These are the Comp Cams Beehive springs. My machine shop says while it shouldn’t have happened, we should replace all the springs.

Great. Gotta pull the heads. Studded, too.

I pull the two dipsticks to help get the heater hoses and LTCC coil packs out of the way. The coil packs bolt to the two studs where the center hold down bolts go.

Yah, I'm getting pretty good at taking everything apart, I even know the socket sizes. Heaven knows I've takin everything apart plenty of times!

lol, don't know how I could've missed that, sorry.

So it was spring failure then? Maybe you can get comp cams to pay for it?

The valve cover is nothing, the spot is hidden by the coilpack. I'll just epoxy up the hole.

Just not looking forward to draining the coolant, disconnecting EVERYTHING, pulling the intake and acc. bracket then everything else.

OH WELL, it was time for new spark plugs anyways....
