VALVES AND VALVE SPRINGS
Valve spring
1. Measure:
● Valve spring free length a
Out of specification → Replace.
2. Measure:
● Spring tilt a
Out of specification → Replace.
Free length (valve spring):
Intake:
28.32 mm (1.11 in)
<Limit>: 26.9 mm (1.06 in)
Exhaust:
28.32 mm (1.11 in)
<Limit>: 26.9 mm (1.06 in)
Spring tilt limit:
Intake:
2.5˚/1.2 mm (0.05 in)
Exhaust:
2.5˚/1.2 mm (0.05 in)
Valve seat
1. Measure:
● Valve seat width a
Out of specification → Reface the valve
seat.
Valve seat width:
Intake:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm (0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
<Limit>: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
Exhaust:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm (0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
<Limit>: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
Measurement steps:
● Apply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) b
to the valve face.
● Install the valve into the cylinder head.
● Press the valve through the valve guide
and onto the valve seat to make a clear
pattern.
● Measure the valve seat width. Where the
valve seat and valve face made contact,
blueing will have been removed.
● If the valve seat is too wide, too narrow, or
the seat is not centered, the valve seat
must be refaced.
