Yes it can, and people prefer and do it this way because you don't have to change the headgasket. You just have to be mindful of the engine cycle so the piston you are taking the springs out of isn't at the bottom of its stroke or the valve will fall in the cylinder hole. This can be done by shooting compressed air into the intake and exhaust ports respectively. Or have a buddy with a third hand hold it with rubber grips (dont scratch it!)

i have a 5 liter and its making a nok nok noise at idle and spark plug number 4 is wet with oil ,,,,what is my problem is it a bad valve seal or soe other problem
you can rent them at oreilly's. I personally use a C clamp and grind off the center to make the end like a fork, so it will clamp the spring all the way down. Not possible if you do this with the head still on the engine, then you need that tool shown.
Good video exactly what i needed to get job done on these ebay aluminum heads
What a fantastic video great job!
Thank you!
Great vid
Can this be done with the motor still in the car?
Approximately how much would a qualified mechanic charge for this?

What is the part number of the seals and where did you buy them?
I bought mine on rockauto! They are Felpro SS72891
Great video sir!
Thank you for watching! Hope it was helpful
This is insanely helpful. Good shit!
Glad I could help!
Can I do this without removing the cylinder head from the block?
yes, need to be careful and put the piston up so the valve doesn't fall down.
I’d reccomend you do it with the head off so you can lap the valves. It’s stupid easy and free hp

You have to do a leak down and see where the air is bleeding out.
Great detailed video.
Thanks!
who makes that valve compressor tool?
