I'm not sure how to remove the powervalve barrel, I tried just pulling really hard and that didn't work...I don't want to buy a specialised tool for this so any suggestions would be great.
Also one of my cylinder heads looks as if the metal has deformed - the inside surface is very rough..could be baked on crap but I doubt it - will post a picture after I clean it up. _________________ '87 MC16
BUY the tool! ive just spent the last few months doing a Gear box swap, and the right tools make the job so easy, OH and by the right one, i bought a Cheap clutch holder that snapped part of the basket so i had to by another inner basket, !!!! You can always sell it on ! itll cost you in the end if you try and hack it!

Would that be the lower head by any chance? _________________ Andy.

Yes it is from the lower cylinder, is this common? The surface is gritty and pockmarked in a certain area. The other head is very smooth. As for the tool, I know the proper tools go a long way, but im CHEAP!! _________________ '87 MC16
If you pop the seal out first and spin the nut back on the end of the shaft you can then lever VERY GENTLY on the under side of the nut with a pry bar (place a piece of wood or other soft item between pry bar and barrel) or as someone once suggested on this forum use the end of a claw hammer (the bit that you use to pull out nails). If the power valves arent coked up to badly they should pull out easily but be gentle with it to much force could damage the p.v.'s or worse the barrel.If they are coked in badly try soaking them with contact cleaner for few days or buy the proper tool.
Buy the tool from tyga, 26$, how cheap can you be ) ? How much is a new RC valve, or a new cylinder ?
