straighten one of the split pins,
and then remove it and its
washer from the connecting
pin.
b) Remove the connecting pin
and the second washer from
the valve and push rod, then lift
the exhaust valve up and off
the push rod.
• When replacing the exhaust valve and
connecting pin, be sure to reinstall the
washers and to use a new stainless steel
split pin.
• Bend the ends of the split pin to secure it in
place.
