    Assemble both EN-50717  support braces (2) to the EN-50717 - 10  Valve Spring Compressor Adapters (6).

  2. Install the EN-50717 - 10  Valve Spring Compressor Adapters (6) to the cylinder head.
    • Use washers between the special tool and the cylinder head.
    • Hand-tighten 5 bolts (1) to the cylinder head until the remaining special tool components are assembled.
  3. Install both EN-50717  sliding rods (3) to the EN-50717  support braces (2).
  4. Assemble the EN-50717  demounting piece (5) on the EN-50717  handle (4).
  5. Install the EN-50717  handle (4) to the EN-50717  sliding rods (3).
  6. Tighten the hex nut at the EN-50717  handle (4).
  7. Tighten the EN-50717  support brace bolts and the cylinder head fixing bolts (1).
  8. NOTE:

    The demounting piece must be applied parallel to the valve to apply even pressure on the valve spring retainers, and to prevent damage to the tools or the valve train components.

  9. Adjust the EN-50717  compressor adapter so it is in-line with the valve components.

    Position the EN-50717  demounting piece properly to the valve spring retainer.

  16. 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.

    CAUTION:

    Do not compress the valve springs less than 25.0 mm (0.984 in). Contact between the valve spring retainer and the valve stem oil seal can cause potential valve stem oil seal damage.

    NOTE:
    • Many internal engine components will develop specific wear patterns on their friction surfaces.
    • Components MUST be separated, marked, or organized in a way to ensure installation to their original location and position. Take precautions in order to prevent interchanging of parts.
    • Tag or mark each part immediately when removed. Indicate location, direction, or orientation when necessary.
  17. Tighten the EN-50717  handle to compress the valve spring and valve spring retainer until the valve keys are able to be installed. Use a suitable tool and a bit of grease to install the valve keys (1).
  18. Loosen the EN-50717  handle to release the tension on the valve spring.
  19. Repeat the previous steps to install each intake valve, valve stem oil seal, valve spring, valve spring retainer, and valve keys.
