NOTICE
Note: The following procedure should be adopted to remove the valve springs when the cylinder head
is installed to the engine. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Inlet and Exhaust Valves - Remove
and Install" for the procedure to remove the valve springs from a cylinder head that has been removed
from the engine.
Note: Ensure that the appropriate piston is at top dead center before the valve spring is removed.
Failure to ensure that the piston is at top dead center may allow the valve to drop into the cylinder
bore.
NOTICE
Plug the apertures for the push rods in the cylinder head to prevent the
entry of loose parts into the engine.

2. Follow Step 2.a through Step 2.d to position the appropriate piston at top dead center.
a. Install Tooling (A) in position on the cylinder head to compress a valve spring (10) for
the appropriate piston.
b. Use Tooling (A) to compress valve spring (10) and open the valve slightly.
Note: Do not compress the spring so that valve spring retainer (9) touches valve
stem seal (11).
c. Use Tooling (B) to rotate the crankshaft carefully, until the piston touches the valve.

Note: Do not use excessive force to turn the crankshaft. The use of force can result in
bent valve stems.
d. Continue to rotate the crankshaft and gradually release the pressure on Tooling (A)
until the piston is at the top dead center position. The valve is now held in a position
that allows the valve spring to be safely removed.
Note: Valve springs must be replaced in pairs for the inlet valve or the exhaust valve of each
cylinder. If all valve springs require replacement, the procedure can be carried out on two
cylinders at the same time. The procedure can be carried out on the following pairs of cylinders.
1 with 4 and 2 with 3. Ensure that all the valve springs are installed before changing from one
pair of cylinders to another pair of cylinders.
NOTICE
Do not turn the crankshaft while the valve springs are removed.
3. Apply sufficient pressure to Tooling (A) to allow removal of valve keepers (8).
Note: Do not compress the spring so that valve spring retainer (9) touches valve stem seal (11).
5. Remove valve spring retainer (9) and remove valve spring (10).
7. Repeat Step 3 through Step 6 to remove the remaining valve springs from the appropriate
cylinder.

1. Inspect valve springs (10) for damage and for the correct length. Refer to Specifications,
"Cylinder Head Valves" for further information.
2. If necessary, install a new valve stem seal (11) onto the valve guide.
Note: The outer face of the valve guide must be clean and dry before installing the valve stem
seal.
3. Install valve spring (10) onto the cylinder head. Position valve spring retainer (9) on valve
spring (10).
Improper assembly of parts that are spring loaded can cause bodily
injury.

4. Install Tooling (A) in the appropriate position on the cylinder head to compress valve spring
(10).
Note: Do not compress the spring so that valve spring retainer (9) touches valve stem seal
(11).
The valve spring keepers can be thrown from the valve when the valve
spring compressor is released. Ensure that the valve spring keepers are
properly installed on the valve stem. To help prevent personal injury,
keep away from the front of the valve spring keepers and valve springs
during the installation of the valves.
Note: If all valve springs require replacement, the procedure can be carried out on two
cylinders at the same time. The procedure can be carried out on the following cylinders. 1 and 4
and 2 and 3. Remember that the crankshaft must not be turned while the valve springs are
removed. Ensure that all the valve springs are installed before changing from one pair of
cylinders to the other pair of cylinders. If all valve springs do not require replacement, the
springs must be replaced in pairs.

(2).
a. Ensure that harness assembly (3) for the electronic unit injectors is clean and free from
damage. Replace any damaged components.
b. Install a new O-ring seal (7) onto harness assembly (3) for electronic unit injectors (2).
d. Install a new bolt (5) and tighten the bolt to a torque of 5.5 N·m (49 lb in).
f. Use a deep socket to install connections (1) to electronic unit injectors (2). Use Tooling
(C) to tighten the connections to a torque of 2.0 N·m (18 lb in).
g. Install new assemblies of the cable straps (4) to harness assembly (3).
