Okay, is there a trick to this?
I have the valve spring depressed and am trying to pull the valve stem up so I can remove the retainer clips and can't get it.
WTF?
Do I use a magnet to pull the clips out?
I think I see the seals and the look like they are seated.
Would a bad oil control ring show good compression?
