VALVE SPRINGS

1. Measure the free length of each valve spring. If the spring length is less than the limit, replace the valve spring.

2. Using a square, check the spring tilt (out-of-squareness) of each valve spring relative to the perpendicular to the seat surface. If the out-of-squareness is greater than the service limit, replace the valve spring.

Пружина клапана [Номинальное значение] Длина пружины в свободном состоянии :

Valve spring [Standard] Free length: 44.00 mm Length under 216 N load: 35.00 mm Length under 451 N load: 27.20 mm Spring squareness (out-of-square): 1.5° or less [Limit] Free length: 43.00 mm Spring squareness (out-of-square): 4°

VALVE GUIDES

Check the clearance between the valve guide and the valve stem (at several points along the length). If the clearance is greater than the limit, replace the valve guide with a guide of the next oversize.
