Valve And Spring Installed Height

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Coat valve stems with clean engine oil and insert them in cylinder head.
  2. If valves or seats have been refaced, check valve tip height (A). See Figure. If valve tip height for intake valve is greater than 47.59 (1.8737 in.) or 49.14 (1.9347 in.) for exhaust valve, grind valve tip until within specifications. Make sure measurement is taken from cylinder head surface to the top of valve stem.
  3. Install valve seal/spring seat assembly over valve guides on all valve stems. See Fig 1. Ensure that the garter spring is intact around the top of the rubber seal.
  4. Position valve springs and retainer on spring seat. See Fig 1.
  5. Compress valve spring with a valve spring compressor.
  6. Install retainer locks and release tool.
  7. If valves and/or seats are refaced, measure the installed height of springs (B). See Figure. Measurement is taken from top of spring seat to the bottom surface of spring retainer. If height is greater than 38.75 mm (1.5256 in.), install a 0.762 mm (0.030 in.) spacer in head counterbore under the valve spring seat to bring spring height back within specification.
