Replace valve spring if squareness is beyond 0.0787" (2.0 mm). Measure valve spring free length. The production free length is 2.2283" (56.6 mm). Measure valve spring installed height between spring seat (or top of shim, if shimmed) and top of spring shield. Replace valve spring if pressure or installed height is not within specification.
