RE: valve float.
Be careful with this procedure though you can do it to hard and the keepers pop out and spring flies.
ORIGINAL: schwindty
No the lower can stay on, be sure the piston is at the top of its stroke or you will loose the valve.......thats a must! As well their are little keepers in the valves that have a tendency to fall out and down into the engine e sure to cover the area you are working on with a cloth or plug the holes in the heads with something......Another little tip is remove the rockers then get a socket the fits over the valve keepers, put it overtop and give it a wack with a hammer.... it breaks the keepers loose and makes it easier to fall out. I had to do this to all my valves to get the keepers out. Takes some time to figure a strategy out but once you have it it takes no time at all.
