Valve Spring: Service and Repair

Removal Procedure

^ Tools Required
- J22794 Spark Plug Port Adapter
- J5892-D Valve Spring Compressor
- J38606 Valve Spring Compressor

1. Drain the cooling system.
2. Remove the valve rocker arm cover from the cylinder head.
3. Remove both heater hoses from the heater core.
4. Remove the spark plugs from the cylinder head.
5. Remove the valve rocker arm(s) from the cylinder head.





6. Install the J22794 to the spark plug hole in the cylinder head.
7. Apply compressed air in order to hold the valve in place.
8. Tap the valve spring cap with a soft-faced hammer in order to loosen the valve keys.





9. Install an 8 mm x 65 mm bolt with a hardened washer into the rocker arm bolt hole.

Caution: Compressed valve springs have high tension against the valve spring compressor. Valve springs that are not properly compressed by or released from the valve spring compressor can be ejected from the valve spring compressor with intense force. Use care when compressing or releasing the valve spring with the valve spring compressor and when removing or installing the valve stem keys. Failing to use care may cause personal injury.

10. Use the J5892-D in order to compress the valve spring.
1. Hook the slotted end of J5892-D under the washer on the bolt.
2. Apply steady pressure on the valve spring cap until the valve keys are accessible.

Notice: Completely engage the J38606 jaws on the valve spring. The J38606 may slip off and scratch the valve spring. Replace the valve spring if the valve spring becomes scratch.





11. Use J38606 when there is not enough clearance to use J5892.





12. Remove the valve keys.
13. Carefully release the spring tension.
14. Remove the J5892-D or the J38606.
15. Remove the valve spring cap.
16. Remove the valve spring.

Installation Procedure

^ Tools Required
- J22794 Spark Plug Port Adapter
- J5892-D Valve Spring Compressor
- J38606 Valve Spring Compressor
- J38820 Valve Seal Installer





Important: The LN2 Engine uses a unique valve spring seat and seal combination unit. Under no circumstances should this seal and seat unit be replaced with a different type of seal. Use care to ensure that the valve stem seal and spring seat are not damaged during installation. Do not use excessive force or a hammer to install the seal on the guide. The seal will go on if straight and properly lubricated using hand pressure only.

1. Lubricate the outside of the valve guide and the valve seal with clean engine oil.
2. Using the J38820 install the valve spring seat and seal unit onto the guide. Push and twist the valve seal into position on the valve guide until the spring seat flange is flush with the cylinder head surface.
3. Set the valve spring in place.
4. Set the valve spring cap in place.

Caution: Compressed valve springs have high tension against the valve spring compressor. Valve springs that are not properly compressed by or released from the valve spring compressor can be ejected from the valve spring compressor with intense force. Use care when compressing or releasing the valve spring with the valve spring compressor and when removing or installing the valve stem keys. Failing to use care may cause personal injury.





5. Compress the valve spring with the J5892-D.

Notice: Completely engage the J38606 jaws on the valve spring. The J38606 may slip off and scratch the valve spring. Replace the valve spring if the valve spring becomes scratch.





6. Use the J38606 if the clearance does not permit the use of the J5892-D.
7. Install the valve keys. Use grease in order to hold the valve keys in place.
8. Carefully release the valve spring pressure making sure the valve stem keys stay in place.

Notice: The valve stem keys must correctly seat in the valve spring cap. Engine damage may occur by not installing properly.

9. Remove the J5892-D or the J38606.
1. Look to ensure that the valve stem keys seat properly in the groove of the valve stem.
2. Tap the end of the valve stem with a soft-faced hammer in order to seat the valve keys if necessary.
10. Remove the J22794 from the cylinder head.
11. Remove the8 mm x65 mm bolt and washer.
12. Install the valve rocker arms to the cylinder head.
