valve seals

You can use a tool that screws into the spark plug hole and hooks up to a air hose to hold pressure on the valve. Then you take another tool that squeezes the valve spring down so you can replace the seals. Check with your local parts store for tools. Sorry can't remember the name of them right now.

You can also pull a plug and put a length of rope through the plug hole. Then carefully turn the crank until the piston hits the rope and keeps the valves from opening smile.gif
