2010 LC broken valve spring

[TexasHusker]

Cylinder number 7. He researched and said that almost all valve spring breaks are on cylinder 7. He didn’t have to pull the head. Used some trickery and negotiated the new spring into place. $1633 out the door. No other engine damage.

Decent price to replace a valve spring! I wish you many miles of trouble free operation.

Valve springs can often be replaced in situ, but there are a few tricks to employ to avoid dropping the valve and ensuring that no debris enters the cylinder.
