RAM 2500 Truck 2WD L6-5.9L DSL Turbo VIN 7 (2001)
Valve: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The valves are made of heat resistant steel, and have chrome plated stems to prevent scuffing. The intake and exhaust valves are both similar in head
diameter and overall length, but they have unique face angles which makes them non-interchangeable. The valves are distinguished by unique dimples
on the exhaust valve head (Fig. 35).
The exhaust valve springs are made from high strength, chrome silicon steel. The exhaust valve springs are also exhaust brake compatible.
