Special Tools Required
Stem seal driver ( 07PAD-0010000)
| 1. | Coat the valve stems with new engine oil. Install the valves in the valve guides. |
| 2. | Check that the valves move up and down smoothly. |
| 3. | Install the spring seats on the cylinder head. |
| 4. | Install the new valve seals (A) using the stem seal driver (B). NOTE: Exhaust valve seals (C) have a black spring (D), and intake valve seals (E) have a white spring (F); they are not interchangeable.
|
| 5. | Install the valve spring and valve retainer. Place the end of the valve spring with the closely wound coils toward the cylinder head. |
| 6. | Install the valve spring compressor. Compress the spring, and install the valve cotters.
|
| 7. | Remove the valve spring compressor. |
| 8. | Lightly tap the end of each valve stem two or three times with a plastic mallet (A) to ensure proper seating of the valve and valve cotters. Tap the valve stem only along its axis so you do not bend the stem.
