2. Measure:
• Compressed spring force "a"
Out of specification
→
Replace.
b.
Installed length
3. Measure:
• Spring tilt "a"
Out of specification
→
Replace.
CHECKING THE VALVE LIFTERS
1. Inspect:
• Valve lifter

Smaller pitch
3. Install:
• Valve cotter
While compressing the valve spring
with a valve spring compressor "1" in-
stall the valve cotters.
4. To secure the valve cotters onto
the valve stem, lightly tap the
valve tip with a piece of wood.
Hitting the valve tip with excessive
