NOTE:

If the valves are being reused, reassemble them into their original locations.

  1. Coat the valve stems (2) with clean engine oil and install the valves onto the cylinder head.

Refer to ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS . Make sure the measurement is taken from the cylinder head surface (7) to the top of the valve stem (2).
  3. If removed, install the spring seat and valve guide seal over the valve guide. Refer to SEAL(S), VALVE GUIDE, INSTALLATION .
    NOTE:

    Make sure that the garter spring is intact around the top of the valve guide seal.
