Free Length and Tilt of Valve Spring
1. Measure the free length
(B)
of valve spring with a vernier
calipers.
2. If the measurement is less than the allowable limit, replace it.
3. Put the valve spring on a surface plate, and put a square on the
side of the valve spring.
4. Make sure that the full side is in contact with the square.
5. Turn the valve spring to measure the maximum tilt
(A)
.
6. If the measurement is more than the allowable limit, replace it.
7. Examine the full surface of the valve spring for scratches.
8. If there is a problem, replace it.

Setting Load of Valve Spring
1. Put the valve spring on a tester.
2. Compress the valve spring to the specified setting length.
3. Read the compression load on the gauge.
4. If the measurement is less than the allowable limit, replace the
valve spring.

Oil Clearance between Rocker Arm and Rocker Arm Shaft
1. Measure the rocker arm shaft O.D. with an external micrometer.
2. Measure the rocker arm I.D. with an internal micrometer.
3. Calculate the oil clearance.
4. If the oil clearance is more than the allowable limit, replace the
rocker arm and measure the oil clearance again.
5. If the oil clearance stays more than the allowable limit, replace
the rocker arm shaft also.
