Ford 9N, 2N, 8N - Valve Assy Removal Tools

The vertical cylinder shaped thing is a valve assy from the Ford flathead. The round bar coming from the right side is the end of an old tire iron that I modified to push down hard on the valve assy to move it far enough to remove the valve guide retainer. I beveled the end because it goes in at a small angle and I wanted to get real close to the valve stem. I took some off the tip of the iron for more room in the exhaust port and I notched the bottom side for that 'hook' so I can push the valve guide down hard. This design is like that screwdriver Zane describes but that tire iron might be more 'convincing' then a big screwdriver. The large flat bar is sold as a 'valve spring compressor' and that will put a lot of upwards push on the valve assy to get it removed from the block. It fits into the valve spring most anywhere. I use a large socket sitting on the edge of the valve chamber as a fulcrum. You might have to go back and forth a couple of times to work it loose after the retainer is out but it isn't hard to do with these tools. Submitted by Rob Fink, from KS
