Valve Springs

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1995 Dodge Ram Wagon, 1995 Dodge Ram Van, 1995 Dodge Pickup, and 1995 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check valve spring free length, out-of-square and pressure. Replace valve spring if not within specification. Refer to VALVES & VALVE SPRINGS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Measure valve spring installed height from bottom of spring seat (cylinder head surface) to bottom of spring retainer. If spacers are installed, measure from top of spacer.
  3. If height exceeds 1.687" (42.86 mm), install a .066" (1.58 mm) thick spacer in cylinder head counterbore to obtain correct installed spring height. See VALVES & VALVE SPRINGS  table.
