Valve Springs

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 1997 GMC Savana, 1997 GMC Pickup, 1997 Chevrolet Pickup, 1997 Chevrolet Chevy Van, and 1997 Chevrolet Chevy Express. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure valve spring free length, installed height and pressure (tension). Replace valve spring if measurement is not within specification. See VALVES & VALVE SPRINGS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Measure installed height between cylinder head spring seat (or top of shim, if shimmed) and top of spring shield. If installed height exceeds specification, install shims as necessary to bring installed height to specification.
