Tools Required

1. Remove the valve rocker arms and pushrods. Refer to Valve Rocker Arm and Push Rod Replacement .

Important: Rotate the piston in the cylinder being serviced to the bottom of its stroke, to ensure that the engine does not rotate when the compressed air is applied.

2. Rotate the crankshaft until both valves are closed before installing compressed air into the cylinder.
3. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder being serviced. Refer to Spark Plug Replacement in Engine Controls - 8.1L.



4. Remove the valve stem keys as followed:

•	Install the J 22794 into the spark plug hole.

•	Apply compressed air into the cylinders in order to hold the valves closed.

•	Lightly tap the valve spring cap to loosen the valve stem keys.

•	Install the J 5892-D to the cylinder head.

•	Install the valve rocker arm nut.

Important: Tighten the valve rocker arm nut enough to hold J 5892-D in place.

•	Using J 5892-D compress the valve spring.




5. Remove the valve stem keys.

Important: Do not release the compressed air from the cylinder being worked on. The valve will fall into the cylinder bore.

6. Slowly release the J 5892-D .
7. Remove the J 5892-D from the cylinder head.
8. Remove the valve spring cap (2) and the valve spring (3).
9. Remove the valve stem oil seal (4).

Important: When installing valve seals, J 43105 must be used to achieve correct installation. Failure to use J 43105 may cause excessive oil consumption.

1. Lubricate the valve stem seal and the outside diameter of the valve guide with clean engine oil.
2. Install the valve stem oil seals (2) over the valve tip and onto the valve guide using J 43105 (1). Tap the valve stem seal onto the valve guide until the J 43105 fully seats the seal.




Important: When installing valve springs, the small end of the valve spring must be installed up.

3. Install the valve spring (3).
4. Install the spring cap (2).



5. Using J 5892-D compress the valve spring.
6. Install the valve stem keys as follows:

6.1.	Apply a small amount of clean grease to hold the valve stem keys in place.

6.2.	Carefully release the J 5892-D . Make sure the valve stem keys do not move.

6.3.	Remove the J 5892-D .

6.4.	Remove the compressed air from the cylinder being worked on.

7. Install the spark plug. Refer to Spark Plug Replacement in Engine Controls - 8.1L.



8. Install the valve rocker arms and pushrods. Refer to Valve Rocker Arm and Push Rod Replacement .
