Removing the Rockers

[mingmingmo]

hey guys.
im just in the middle of striping down my engine but found that if i take the rockers out straight away then the springs etc will just drop into th eengine.
i wernt sure if there was anything that i could do that would make it easier to remove without droping everything int o the engine and making a massive mess.

Never throw out old socks or T-shirts!
You might want to get yourself one of those magnet on a stick thingies too.

I never do, they always go straight into the 'rag box' in my shed

Although sometimes i feel guilty because poor little Ishmal in Africa could probably do with my holed socks and t-shirts

had a feeling that was the only/bets thing to do really.
ta guys

i just pulled the rocker shaft out slowly, plucking out the springs out one by one with the other hand and depositing them in a tub next to the engine.
