Before you remove the valve locks, rotate the engine so that the piston in the cylinder you are working on is at top dead center (TDC). This will
eliminate the possibility of the valve accidentally falling inside the cylinder.

Break the spark plug loose, and clean any dirt and debris from the spark plug recess area before removing.
1. Remove the spark plug.
