Tap gently on top of each valve spring retainer with a socket and hammer in order to break the seal between the valve keeper and the spring retainer. Use a small pair of needle nose pliers or a magnet to remove keepers compressed spring using valve-spring compressor. Remove both spring and retainer then replace old valve stem seals. Check whether there is any damage on the valve stem or eccentric movement or binding. If necessary, remove head for repair. Press new stem seals over valve guide until they are at specified depth. Install keepers in valve stem grooves by compressing spring and placing retainers then drop them in said sequence if need be use grease literally just to stick them down tiny bit of grease will do it this time if needed at all .

Chevrolet Silverado Rocker Shaft Spring Kit

Chevrolet Silverado Rocker Shaft Spring Kit allows even timing and sealing of valves by fastening rocker arms firmly in place and establishing optimal spring tension to ensure strong compression and smooth power delivery. The kit combines precision rocker shafts with calibrated springs that press the arms against the pushrods and valve stems to instantly take up lash that would otherwise increase as the metal parts wear. The Rocker Shaft Spring Kit minimizes load concentrated on individual studs by squeezing the rockers onto a common shaft, thus reducing the pounding and guarding against pushrod bending resulting from excessive clearance. The first generations on these OHV models applied a single plain shaft with coil springs at either end. The later Silverado editions went to a dual shaft with stiffer nested coils. This meant extra seat pressures near 90 pounds and open pressures topping 200 to fight valve float at higher rpm. Over the decades that the Chevrolet Silverado has evolved, an updated Rocker Shaft Spring Kit has improved metallurgy to resist heat fatigue. Every engine has a Rocker Shaft Spring Kit to help lifters, cam lobes and pushrods keep the intake and exhaust valves closing fully to avoid burnt valves, misfires and piston contact. Drivers' Rocker Shaft Spring Kit fits right into stock Chevrolet architecture.

Each OEM Chevrolet Silverado Rocker Shaft Spring Kit we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
