37. Cylinder Head Assemble

^ Tools Required
- J8062 Valve Spring Compressor
- J37979 Valve Spring Compressor Adapter
- J38232 Valve Seal Installer
1. Install the spring seat to the cylinder head.





2. Install the new valve seals using the J38232. Fully seat the seals on the valve guides.





3. Apply engine oil to the valve stem. Install the valve.

Important: Both the inner and outer valve springs have a top (large-pitch) and bottom (small pitch) end. Install the small-pitch end toward the valve spring seat.

4. Install the springs.
5. Install the retainer.

Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.

Caution: Compressed valve springs have high tension against the valve spring compressor. Valve springs that are not properly compressed by or released from the valve spring compressor can be ejected from the valve spring compressor with intense force. Use care when compressing or releasing the valve spring with the valve spring compressor and when removing or installing the valve stem keys. Failing to use care may cause personal injury.





6. Compress the valve spring using the J8062 and the J37979.
7. Install the valve keepers.
8. Slowly release the J8062 from the valve/spring assembly.





9. Lightly tap the valve stem tip with a plastic faced hammer and inspect for proper valve keeper seating.
