align with the guides.
Figure 8. Valve Guides
VALVE TAPPETS:
Valve tappets can be removed during removal of the
engine camshaft. Intake and exhaust valve tappets
are identical. However, once a wear pattern has been
established the two tappets should not be
Interchanged.

VALVE SPRINGS:
Inspect the valve springs. Measure the spring free
length. Also, check the amount of force required to
compress the spring to a length of 1.39 inch (35.2
mm). Replace any damaged or defective spring.
