Make sure you place a socket or pipe on the valve retainer and give it a hit
with a hammer before using the spring compressor. Over time the tapered
valve locks become wedged on the retainers causing them to stick.
The hit must be hard enough to jar the keepers not dislodge them. When
scraping* old aluminum heads I'll hit the keepers directly with a hammer to
pop the keepers.
