1.1. | Align the locating notch. The prechamber will fit correctly in only one position. |
1.2. | Using a 32 mm (1.25 in) socket, tap the prechamber into place. |
2.1. | With the plunger resting on the surface of the cylinder head, set the gauge to zero. |
2.2. | Move the plunger over each valve and note the reading on the gauge. |
• | If the valve is recessed too deep, the valve pushrod can bottom out in the lifter and hold the valve open. When the valves are left open, the valve spring seat tension and cylinder compression are lost. |
• | Maximum protrusion is negative 0.86 mm (negative 0.034 in) to negative 1.22 mm (negative 0.048 in) for both intake and exhaust valves. The valves are recessed. |
• | Measure at two or more points on the prechamber where the prechamber seats on the head gasket shield and sealing ring. |
• | Measure the difference between the flat surface of the prechamber and the flat surface of the cylinder head. |
• | The prechamber must not protrude out of the cylinder head more than 0.05 mm (0.002 in). |
• | The prechamber must not recess into the cylinder head. |
• | Install the valve stem seals over the valve stems. |
• | Seat the valve stem seals against the valve guides. |
14.1. | Compress the valve spring using the J 8062 Valve Spring Compressor. |
14.2. | Install a new O-ring seal on the valve stem's lower groove. |
14.3. | Apply a small amount of grease to the upper valve stem groove. |
14.4. | Assemble the two valve keys to the upper valve stem groove. Ensure that the keys seat properly in the groove. |
14.5. | Release the valve spring compressor, ensuring that the key stays in place. |
14.6. | Repeat this procedure for each remaining valve. |
15.1. | Using a narrow thin scale, measure the valve installed height from the spring seat in the cylinder head to the top of the valve spring cap. Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications. |
15.2. | If the valve spring measurements exceed specifications, inspect for the following conditions: |
• | Proper assembly |
• | Excessive wear at the valve keys |
• | Worn retainers |
• | Worn valve key area on the valves |
15.3. | Install or remove valve spring seat shims between the spring and the cylinder head to obtain the desired measurement. NEVER shim the spring to give an installed height less than the specified amount. |
