Valve Removal Instructions
1. Place the Assembly Stand on the work surface and set the deck surface of the cylinder head on the protective foam. The Assembly Stand will prevent the head from moving during disassembly
2. Valve Support Selection: Choose the appropriate valve support component. A Shot-Bag or Chamber Plug must be used to hold up the valves while removing the valve locks.
• The Shot-Bags will conform to the combustion chamber. They should not protrude too far from the deck surface when installed. Choose from the different size bags for the correct fit. Multiple bags can be used for large chambers. (See Image 1)
• The Chamber Plugs will snap into the spark plug hole and bump against the valve faces on four-valve heads. Choose the Chamber Plug size that contacts the valves the best and does not protrude too far out of the combustion chamber. (See Image 2)
• Support Installation: Tilt the cylinder head up and place the valve support* into the combustion chamber or spark plug hole. Tilt the head back down on the stand so that the bag or plug is seated on the valve faces. Make sure the head is stable as it sits on the Assembly Stand.
Tech Tip: To reduce assembly time, install valve supports in every chamber of the head.
3. Sleeve Selection: Determine the correct protective guide Sleeve. Pick the Sleeve that fits inside the lifter bore and around the spring/retainer assembly. Some engines require the valve spring clearance relief to be used as a guide. (See Image 3)
Tech Tip: Use the available B-Series Twin Sleeve for extra protection on the Honda B-Series motors. (Order No. KE-6840)
4. Hold the t-handle portion of the Keeper-Eeze tool with the tube down between the fingers. Remove any Loader Modules from the tool by gently pulling on the plunger at the end to overcome the magnetic force. Retract the Adjuster by loosening the knob on the side and pulling it back. (See Image 4)
5. Insert the Remover attachment (Order No. KE-6803) into the end of the Keeper-Eeze tool. Push it in with a twisting action until it is fully seated. (See Image 5)
6. Insert “T” Handle in sleeve installed in step 3 (Image 6) Hold down tool firmly with one hand and swiftly strike T-Handle with opposite hand. This will release keepers.
7. Pull the tool away from the cylinder head. The valve locks and retainer will be held safe by the Remover. Store the components for later assembly. (See Image 7 & 
Valve Assembly Instructions
1. Place the Assembly Stand on the work surface and set the deck surface of the cylinder head on the protective foam. The Assembly Stand will prevent the head from moving during assembly
2. Determine the best valve support* for the cylinder head and install according to the previous “Valve Support Selection” section. (See #2 Under Valve Removal Instructions)
3. Determine the correct sleeve for the cylinder head according to the previous “Sleeve Selection” section.(See #3 Under Valve Removal Instructions also see Image 3)
4. Loader Selection: Determine the correct valve Loader module based on the valve stem size. Measure the diameter of the valve stem and choose a Loader that is the same size. (See Image 9) Note: The valve stem should be able to fit inside the Loader when the plunger is depressed.
5. Loader Adjustment: Insert the valve Loader into the Keeper-Eeze tool with the plunger pointing out. (See Image 10)
• Place the valve locks on the plunger at the end of the valve Loader. The locks should approximate the way they are installed on the valve. Tech Tip: For best assembly results, align the parting line of the two locks with the direction of the t-handle portion of the tool. (See Image 11)
• Loosen the adjuster knob on the side of the Keeper-eeze tool. With the other hand, place the valve spring retainer against the end of the Keeper-eeze tool and hold it in place. Slide the adjuster up until the valve locks touch the inside of the retainer bore. Tighten the adjuster knob. The tool is now adjusted for the cylinder head. Tech Tip: Slightly preload, follow the normal adjustment process, but move the adjuster a slight distance further out of the tool.
