1993 CHEVROLET PLYMOUTH ACCLAIM fold seats

length of the spring to be tested is 33.34mm (1-5/16
inches). Turn table of Tool C-647 until surface is in line
with the 33.34mm (1-5/16 inch) mark on the threaded
stud and the zero mark on the front. Place spring over
stud on the table and lift compressing lever to set tone
device. Pull on torque wrench until ping is heard. Take
reading on torque wrench at this instant. Multiply this
reading by two. This will give the spring load at test
length. Fractional measurements are indicated on the
table for finer adjustments. Refer to specifications to
obtain specified height and allowable tensions. Discard
the springs that do not meet specifications.
VALVE INSTALLATION
(1) Coat valve stems with clean engine oil and insert
them in cylinder head. (2) Check valve tip to spring seat dimension A after
grinding the valve seats or faces. Grind valve tip to give
49.541 to 51.271 mm (1.950 to 2.018 inch.) over spring
seat when installed in the head (Fig. 17). Check valve
tip for scoring, if necessary, the tip chamfer should be
reground to prevent seal damage when the valve is
installed. (3) Install new cup seals on all valve stems and over
valve guides (Fig. 24). Install valve springs and valve
retainers.
(4) Compress valve springs with Valve Spring Com-
pressor Tool C-3422-B, with adapter 6412 install locks
and release tool. If valves and/or seats are re-
ground, measure the installed height of springs
dimension B, make sure measurements is taken
from top of spring seat to the bottom surface of
spring retainer. If height is greater than 1-19/32
inches, (40.6mm), install a 1/32 inch (.794mm)
spacer in head counterbore to bring spring
height back to normal 1-17/32 to 1-19/32 inch (39.1
to 40.6mm) .
REPLACE VALVE STEM SEALS OR VALVE
SPRINGS, CYLINDER HEAD NOT REMOVED
(1) Perform fuel system pressure release procedure
before attempting any repairs (2) Disconnect negative battery cable. (3) Remove Air Cleaner Cover and hose assembly.
(4) Remove Intake Manifold; Refer to

(6) Remove connector wire from ignition coils.
(7) Using suitable socket and flex handle at crank-
shaft pulley retaining screw, turn engine so the num-
ber 1 piston is at Top Dead Center on the compression
stroke. (8) Remove rocker arms with rocker shaft and in-
stall a dummy shaft. The rocker arms should not be
disturbed and left on shaft. (9) With air hose attached to spark plug adapter
installed in number 1 spark plug hole, apply 90 to 100
psi air pressure (620.5 to 689 kPa). This is to hold
valves into place while servicing components. (10) Using Tool C-4682 or Equivalent compress
valve spring and remove retainer valve locks and valve
spring. (11) The intake valve stem seals should be pushed
firmly and squarely over the valve guide using the
valve stem as guide. Do Not Forceseal against top of
guide. When installing the valve retainer locks, com-
press the spring only enoughto install the locks.
CAUTION:Do not pinch seal between retainer and top
of valve guide .
(12) Follow the same procedure on the remaining 5
cylinders using the firing sequence 1-2-3-4-5-6. Make
sure piston in cylinder is at TDC on the valve
spring that is being covered. (13) Remove spark plug adapter tool .
(14) Remove dummy shaft and install rocker shaft
assembly and tighten screws to 28 N Im (250 in. lbs.).
