Valve Springs: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan can cause engine failure.
  1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING & LIFTING .
  2. Remove the valve tappets. For additional information, refer to VALVE TAPPETS  .
  3. Remove the spark plugs. For additional information, refer to ENGINE IGNITION - 2.0L GTDI .
  4. NOTE: Use compressed air at 7 to 10 bars (100-150 psi). Do not disconnect the compressed air from the cylinder until the valve spring, valve spring retainer and valve collet is installed. Any loss of air pressure will allow the valve to fall into the cylinder.

    Connect a compressed air supply to the cylinder that is being serviced.

  5. NOTE: Place all parts in order to one side.

    Apply compressed air to the cylinder and remove the valve spring.

    • Using the Valve Spring Compressors, compress the valve spring and remove the valve collet, using some multipurpose grease and a small screwdriver.
    • Remove the valve spring retainer and the valve spring.
