Warning
|
|
Compressed valve springs have high tension against the valve spring compressor. Valve springs that are not properly compressed by or released from the valve spring compressor can be ejected from the valve spring compressor with intense force. Use care when compressing or releasing the valve spring with the valve spring compressor and when removing or installing the valve stem keys. Failing to use care may cause personal injury.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Warning
|
|
Do not compress the valve springs to less than 24.0 mm (0.943 in). Contact between the valve spring retainer and the valve stem oil seal can cause potential valve stem oil seal damage.

17.
|
Remove check ball (1) and check ball spring (2) from inside of check valve.
|
|
18.
|
Continue to drill in the check valve sleeve to a depth of about 19 mm (0.75 in) (a). Mark the depth on the drill bit using a piece of tape. It is not necessary or desirable to drill completely through the bottom of the check valve.

Screw bolt by hand fully down into threaded check valve sleeve, then lightly tighten nut against washer.
|
|
22.
|
Hold bolt with one wrench, and use another to tighten the nut until the check valve sleeve (1) is removed from the cylinder head.
