VALVE SPRING
The force of the coil spring keeps the valve seat tight.
A weakened spring results in reduced engine power
output and often accounts for the chattering noise
coming from the valve mechanism.
Check the valve springs for proper strength by mea-
suring their free length and also by the force required
to compress them. If the spring length is less than
the service limit or if the force required to compress
the valve spring is not within specification, replace
the valve spring.
