Double valve springs

(1) Outer spring

Length under test force ... 35.8 mm (1.41 inch)

Test force ... 176 to 195 N (39.5 to 43.7 lb)

(2) Inner spring

Length under test force ... 34.0 mm (1.34 inch)

Test force ... 89 to 104 N (20 to 23 lb)

Single valve springs (if equipped)

Length under test force ... 40.0 mm (1.57 inch)

Test force ... 312 to 344 N (70.1 to 77.3 lb)

(3) Valve spring recess for the valve spring

(4) Valve guides for the inlet and exhaust valves

Inside diameter ... 9.51 to 9.56 mm (0.3744 to 0.3764 inch)

Outside diameter ... 15.90 to 15.91 mm (0.6260 to 0.6265 inch)

Bore diameter in cylinder head for valve guide ... 15.87 to 15.89 mm (0.6247 to 0.6257 inch)

Interference fit of valve guide in cylinder head ... 0.03 to 0.07 mm (0.0012 to 0.0027 inch)

Overall length of valve guide

Inlet ... 57.94 mm (2.281 inch)

Exhaust ... 61.10 mm (2.406 inch)

Projection of valve guide above valve spring recess (3) ... 15.10 mm (0.594 inch)

Note: When new valve guides are installed, new valves and new valve seat inserts must be installed. The valve guides and the valve seat inserts are supplied as partially finished parts. The unfinished valve guides and unfinished valve seat inserts are installed in the cylinder head. Then, the guides and inserts are cut and reamed in one operation with special tooling. This procedure ensures the concentricity of the valve seat to the valve guide in order to create a seal that is tight. Refer to the Disassembly and Assembly Manual for removal and installation procedures.
