CYLINDER HEAD/VALVES
9-19
To prevent loss of
tension, do not
compress the valve
springs more than
necessary.
Install the valve spring cotters using the valve
spring compressor.
Support the cylin-
der head so the
valve heads will not
contact anything
that cause damage.
Tap the valve stems gently with two plastic ham-
mers to seat the cotters firmly.
Install the cylinder head (page 9-19).
