It was pretty easy. The valve moved up and down easily. I dropped one piece of the retainers, and he found it, it went in easily. I had to force the spring compressor down to the very bottom to get it on. It stands higher than the older ones, a little bit.

It retained the pressure, and the valve being up, so the seals are alright. I taped it, and then compressed and replace the spring. Thanks so very much!

I am still a little leery, given it seemed sticky when it got to TDC. But tomorow I'll find out. I will start it or crank it, plugs out, tonite to get rid of the carb cleaner, then put the wheel back on. Then, all spark plugs, replace the valve cover, then the lower plenum with the older isolator bolts, then the upper, and replace all the vacuum hoses and vent stuff. Hopefully all the bolts will go in.

I'll let you know what happens, thanks to you all!

I used the straw, it dropped into a void ,then you could feel the piston come back up. Few times thru, it was easy to tell.

Great, Congratulations, Good job.
