1. Install Tooling (A). Install the bolt and bracket (2). Remove bolt (1) .
Note: Maintain air pressure in the cylinder that is being serviced until both of the valve
springs are removed and installed. Do not depress the valves during the removal or the
installation process. If the valves are depressed during the removal or the installation
process, air pressure will be lost and the valves may fall into the cylinder.

Personal injury can result from being struck by parts propelled by a
released spring force.
Make sure to wear all necessary protective equipment.
Follow the recommended procedure and use all recommended tooling to
release the spring force.
NOTICE
Ensure that the valve spring is compressed squarely or damage to the
valve stem may occur.
2. Install Tooling (B). Use Tooling (B) to compress valve spring (3). Remove cap (4) and
retainers (5) .
3. Release the pressure from Tooling (B) and remove Tooling (B). Remove retainer (6) .
4. If necessary, use Tooling (C) to remove seal (7) .
5. Use Tooling (D) to check the valve spring force. Refer to Specifications, "Cylinder Head
Valves".
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the removal of the remaining valve springs.

NOTICE
Do not turn the crankshaft while the valve springs are removed.

The 9U-6145 Air Connector is part of the 9U-6274 Compression Test Tool Gp. The 9U-6145 Air Connector can
be ordered separately.
NOTICE
1. Keep Tooling (B) and an air hose attached in order to force air pressure into the cylinder.
This will hold the valves in position while the inlet and exhaust valve springs are installed.
Note: Maintain air pressure in the cylinder that is being serviced until both of the valve
springs are removed and installed. Do not depress the valves during the removal or the
installation process. If the valves are depressed during the removal or the installation
process, air pressure will be lost and the valves may fall into the cylinder.

The valve spring keepers can be thrown from the valve when the valve
spring compressor is released. Ensure that the valve spring keepers are
properly installed on the valve stem. To help prevent personal injury,
keep away from the front of the valve spring keepers and valve springs
during the installation of the valves.
2. If necessary, use Tooling (C) to install seal (7) .
3. Position valve spring (3). Position retainer (6) on spring (3) .

NOTICE
4. Install Tooling (B) and compress spring (3). Install retainers (5) and cap (4) .
5. Release the pressure and remove Tooling (B) .
6. Tap the top of the valve with a soft hammer in order to ensure that retainers (5) are properly
installed.
7. Repeat Steps 1 through 6 in order to install the remaining valve springs.
8. Remove the bolt and bracket (2). Remove Tooling (A) and install bolt (1). Tighten bolt (1)
to a torque of 118 N·m (87 lb ft).
End By:
a. Install the fuel injectors. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Fuel Injectors - Install".
b. Install the rocker shaft assembly. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Rocker Shaft and
Pushrod - Install".

Removal Procedure
Table 1
Required Tools
A 9U-6195 Valve Spring Compressor 1
B 268-1969 Adapter 1
Start By:
A. Remove the rocker shaft assembly. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Rocker Shaft and
Pushrod - Remove".
NOTICE

NOTICE
Plug the apertures for the push rods in the cylinder head in order to
prevent the entry of loose parts into the engine.
Note: The following procedure should be adopted in order to remove the valve springs when the
cylinder head is installed to the engine. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Inlet and Exhaust
Valves - Remove and Install" for the procedure to remove the valve springs from a cylinder head
that has been removed from the engine.
Note: Ensure that the appropriate piston is at the top center position before the valve spring is
removed. Failure to ensure that the piston is at the top center position may allow the valve to drop
into the cylinder bore.
Typical example
1. Follow Steps 1.a through 1.d in order to position the appropriate piston at top center.
a. Install Tooling (A) and (B) in position on the cylinder head in order to compress a
valve spring for the appropriate piston.

b. Use Tooling (A) in order to compress valve spring (3) and open the valve slightly.
Note: Do not compress the spring so that the valve spring retainer (2) touches the
valve stem seal.
c. Carefully rotate the crankshaft until the piston touches the valve.
Note: Do not use excessive force to turn the crankshaft. The use of force can result in
bent valve stems.
d. Continue to rotate the crankshaft and gradually release the pressure on Tooling (A)
until the piston is at the top center position. The valve is now held in a position that
allows the valve spring to be safely removed.
NOTICE
2. Use Tooling (A) in order to compress valve spring (3). Remove valve keepers (1) .
Note: Do not compress the valve spring so that the valve spring retainer (2) touches the
valve stem seal.
3. Slowly release the pressure on Tooling (A) .
4. Remove valve spring retainer (2) and remove valve spring (3) .
NOTICE
Note: If all valve springs require replacement the procedure can be carried out on two
cylinders at the same time. The procedure can be carried out on the following pairs of
cylinders. 1 with 4 and 2 with 3. Ensure that all of the valve springs are installed before
changing from one pair of cylinders to another pair of cylinders.
5. Remove Tooling (A) and (B) .

NOTICE
1. Inspect the valve springs for the correct length. Refer to Specifications, "Cylinder Head
Valves ".
Typical example
2. Install valve spring (3) onto the cylinder head. Position valve spring retainer (2) onto valve
spring (3) .

Improper assembly of parts that are spring loaded can cause bodily
injury.
To prevent possible injury, follow the established assembly procedure
and wear protective equipment.
NOTICE
3. Install Tooling (A) and (B) in the appropriate position on the cylinder head in order to
compress the valve spring.
4. Apply sufficient pressure to Tooling (A) in order to install valve keepers (1) .
Note: Do not compress the spring so that valve spring retainer (2) touches the valve stem
seal.
Install the valve spring keepers.
5. Carefully release the pressure on Tooling (A) .
Note: Ensure that the valve keepers are correctly seated.
6. Remove Tooling (A). Ensure that all of the valves are secured in place by a valve spring and
valve keepers. Rotate the crankshaft through about 45 degrees in order to clear the piston
from the valve. Lightly strike the top of the valve with a soft hammer in order to ensure that
the valve keepers are properly installed.
End By: Install the rocker shaft assembly. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Rocker Shaft
and Pushrod - Install".
