Valve Spring: Procedures
INSPECTION
When valves have been removed for inspection, reconditioning or replacement, valve springs should be tested. As an example; the compression length
of the spring to be tested is 38.00 mm (1.496 in.). Turn table of Tool C-647 until surface is in line with the 38.00 mm (1.496 inches.) mark on the
threaded stud and the zero mark on the front. Place spring over stud on the table and lift compressing lever to set tone device. Pull on torque wrench until
ping is heard. Take reading on torque wrench at this instant. Multiply this reading by two. This will give the spring load at test length. Fractional
measurements are indicated on the table for finer adjustments. Refer to Engine Specifications to obtain specified height and allowable tensions See:
Specifications/Engine - Specifications. Replace springs that do not meet specifications.
