1. Install cylinder head plug. Coat plugs with thread sealer Loctite (R) threadlocker 242 or equivalent.





2. Inspect valve springs. (Refer to "Engine Specifications" for the tolerances.)
3. Look for the following conditions when inspecting valve springs:
- Expanded height
- Unparallel spring ends
- Spring tension.





4. Assemble valves.
5. Use the following steps to measure valve runout:
a. Apply a dab of Prussian blue on entire valve face. Seat valve but do not rotate it. The Prussian blue traces transferred to the valve seat are an indication of concentricity of the valve seat.
b. Clean all traces of Prussian blue.
c. Apply a dab of Prussian blue on the valve seat and repeat the check. The traces of Prussian blue transferred to the valve face indicates valve face concentricity.





6. Recondition valve seat or replace valves, if required.
