If the cylinder heads are on the engine, you will need to add air pressure to the cylinder to hold the valves in place. Our example is the Craftsman 47089 compression test kit using the 14mm long ...

Performing a quick check of your valvespring pressures is a simple and easy procedure. The good news is-if you aren't doing it already-checking your spring pressures weekly (or at least after every ...

Obviously, these valve-control-related issues, associated with insufficient valvespring pressure, are the reason why camshaft manufacturers offer valvespring upgrades. The obvious answer might seem to ...
