I used that method one night at the race track on a street stock charger class car , we broke a valve spring in a heat qualifier race and were able to replace it in time for the main feature ,

One way to keep the valves closed while removing the springs is to feed a piece of cloth clothes line into the spark plug hole before the piston comes all the way up to TDC then rotate the crank by slowly by hand to TDC that should keep the valves closed for you to do what you need to do, leave some of the string hanging out of the plug hole so you can just pull it out after you have the springs back on the valves,

Back in the day of the oil rubber umbrella 289 intake & exhaust valve seals they would become hard & very brittle over time then break apart in very small black pieces ,follow the oil path return down to the oil pan and through the oil pump screen and lock up the pump or break the pump shaft , what do your valve seals look like ,

Try it in the Gallery at the top of the home page and let me know if it works. Niko set that up and I am unclear as to why.

-Fred-I tried but my image was to large per the error message ,time for some new pics I guess.

Thanks Fred, I tried to post a picture in the scrap book section but no luck.

Im going to brag a little about my K coupe, my vin 159122 June 8th date code number three Kar in the 64.5 section of the registry, was printed on page 55 of March 2018 issue of mustang monthly in the hi po 289 article by Jim Smart .still driving and racing it at the local drag strips ya hoo.

NiKo, many thanks for joining and all your help with the site , chuck.

Hi Marv, Gene, Fred, and anyone I missed. glad to be back in the saddle again, best regards. chuck.

All I'm saying is I come here to learn more about the cars I enjoy and not to hear bickering and back fighting or opinions about other members. If you are offering a warning about parts misrepresentation or fraud or even just a plain wrong fact someone has that you can correct well great! But your beef with another member is between you two - why bring it here. Peace - out!

I brought it here because 662PLUS2 jamed it to an e bay seller then becomes a member here to use this site to have his private auction by not following the forum rules by not stating an asking price for his block but to call him and make offers.

Hi Phil. i will buy a alt fan spacer, let me know how you want payment, i will send you a pm thanks, chuck.

Quit your whining. BFD Do you have to tell the world?

[/quote Since you have only been a member here for just 4 months i will not comment to your remark, i will say several members have contacted me and thanked me for making it known.

What is the build date of the car on the door data plate.

Quote from 662plus2

Chuck is correct I did back out of the purchase after finding an engine that was a better match for my car 30 miles from home and was delivered by the seller. I based my decision on the fact that there were no other bids so I did not prevent a sale and I offered to pay all of the listing fees. Chuck told me how much the listing cost and asked me to send a MO. On 5/3/11 I sent an e-mail asking for his address but he did not reply.

662plus2 had all the information he needed to make it right , i had to file a non paying bidder claim with e-bay to recover the listing fees, end of story.

Quote from zray

very lame behavior.

any rebuttal ?

Z.

No lame behavior from me only the facts.

I for one will not contact 662plus2 to make an offer on his parts, 662plus2 was the winning e-bay bidder for a complete 289 i had listed on april 16th 2011, then contacted me a week after the auction ended to tell me that due to the fact it would take to much time out of his weekend to pick up the engine he would not and did not complete the transaction after he won the auction, just my 2 cents,
