In the video the keepers don’t ‘pop’. The remedy was to back the piston away, redo the rope ie pull it out & push it back in (I used 2M of bungee cord). Then the keepers popped every other valve & the process was very easy in the end.

Good luck! You got this! (It’s really not that hard).


See my video prior to this for all tools & a complete description of the process of doing rope trick for valve stem seals & spring upgrades. 1JZ / 2JZ etc.
