VALVE SPRING, RETAINER AND SEAL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - 3.0L

Removal

1. Remove the camshaft roller followers. See - Camshaft Roller Followers Removal/Installation.

2. Pressurize the cylinder using compressed air.

NOTE:If air pressure has forced the piston to the bottom of the cylinder, any loss of air pressure will allow the valve(s) to fall into the cylinder. A rubber band, tape or string wrapped around the end of the valve stem will prevent this from happening.






3. Using the special tool, remove the key, retainer, and valve spring.






4. Remove the valve seal.

NOTE:Camshaft removed for clarity.

Installation

NOTE:Lubricate the valve guide with clean engine oil.
