2000 Trans Am WS6 - LS1 Power Plan - Pontiac Tech

After screwing the special spark plug fitting into a cylinder, an air hose is attached, pressuring the cylinder to 120 psi. The valve-spring tool is put down onto the valvespring and the rocker bolt is secured with an 8mm socket. A 3/8-inch socket is attached to the side of the tool and a magnet is placed near the center of the valve retainer. After pressing down on the socket wrench and carefully compressing the valvespring until the locks are free of the retainer, the locks are extracted with the magnet. (If the valve stem moves down with the spring retainer, tap the retainer lightly until it moves independent of the valve.) Once the locks are removed, the socket wrench is lifted up until there's enough clearance to remove the spring, retainer, and machined bases. View Related Article
