until the thermostat opens. Add coolant, if required.
VALVES AND VALVE SPRINGSÐHEAD OFF
This procedure is done with the engine cylinder
head removed from the block.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the engine cylinder head from the cyl-
inder block. Refer to cylinder head removal in this
section.
(2) Use Valve Spring Compressor Tool and com-
press each valve spring.
(3) Remove the valve locks, retainers, and springs.
(4) Use an Arkansas smooth stone or a jewelers
file to remove any burrs on the top of the valve stem,
especially around the groove for the locks.
(5) Remove the valves, and place them in a rack in
the same order as removed.
INSTALLATION

NOTE: If valves and valve seats have been refaced
refer to Service Procedures in this section. Follow
The Valve Stand Down procedure.

tify push rods to ensure installation in original loca-
tion (Fig. 34).
(4) Remove cylinder head, intake manifold, and
exhaust manifold. Refer to cylinder head removal in

If all tappets are to be removed, identify tappets to
ensure installation in original location.
(8) If the tappet or bore in cylinder block is scored,
scuffed, or shows signs of sticking, ream the bore to
next oversize. Replace with oversize tappet.CAUTION: The plunger and tappet bodies are not
interchangeable. The plunger and valve must
always be fitted to the original body. It is advisable
to work on one tappet at a time to avoid mixing of
parts. Mixed parts are not compatible. DO NOT dis-
assemble a tappet on a dirty work bench.
INSTALLATION
(1) Lubricate tappets.
(2) Install tappets and yoke retainers in their orig-
inal positions. Ensure that the oil feed hole in the
side of the tappet body faces up (away from the
crankshaft).
