Valve Spring Installed Height

  1. Check free length and tension of each valve spring. If beyond specifications, replace spring. Using a square, check each spring for proper squareness (1.5° or less). Replace spring if excessively out of square.
  2. Measure installed height of spring between spring seat and retainer, with spring seat, retainer and retainer lock installed.
