13. Slowly release the valve spring compressor.
14. Set the assembly by tapping the valve stem with a soft plastic hammer.
15. Check the installed height of the valve springs using a narrow, thin scale. Measure from the spring seat to the top of the
valve spring.
IMPORTANT: To ensure correct measurement, measure the spring height from the top of the valve spring, not the top of
the valve.
IMPORTANT: If measurement exceeds specified height, install a valve spring shim and recheck. Do not shim valve springs
to give an installed height less than the minimum specified.
