1996 CHRYSLER VOYAGER torque

should be tested Special Tool C-647. As an example,
the compression length of the spring to be tested is
33.34 mm (1-5/16 inches). Turn tool table until sur-
face is in line with the 33.34 mm (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 compress-
ing lever to set tone device (Fig. 89). 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. Frac-
tional measurements are indicated on the table for
finer adjustments. Discard the springs that do not
meet specifications. The Following specifications
apply to both intake and exhaust valve springs.²Valve Closed Nominal ForceÐ 67 lbs. @ 39.8 mm
(1.57 in.)
²Valve Open Nominal ForceÐ 160 lbs. @ 32.6 mm
(1.28 in.)
(2) Verify springs are not distorted with a steel
square and surface plate, check springs from both
ends. If the spring is more than 1.5 mm (1/16 inch)
out of square, install a new spring.
REFACING VALVES AND VALVE SEATS
(1) The intake and exhaust valve seats and valve
face have a 45 degree angle.
(2) Inspect the remaining margin after the valves
are refaced (Fig. 90). Intake valves with less than
0.95 mm (1/32 inch.) margin and Exhaust valves
with less than 1.05 mm (3/64 inch) margin should be
discarded.
(3) When refacing valve seats, it is important that
the correct size valve guide pilot be used for reseat-
ing stones. A true and complete surface must be
obtained. For valve specifications see Valve Specifica-
tion Chart.
(4) Measure the concentricity of valve seat and
valve guide using a valve seat runout dial indicator.

VALVE SPRINGSÐCYLINDER HEAD NOT
REMOVED
This procedure can be done with the engine cylin-
der head installed on the block.
REMOVAL
Each valve spring is held in place by a retainer
and a set of conical valve locks. The locks can be
removed only by compressing the valve spring.
(1) Remove the engine cylinder head cover, refer to
cylinder head cover removal in this section.
(2) Remove rocker arms assemblies for access to
each valve spring to be removed.
(3) Remove push rods. Retain the push rods, and
rocker arms assemblies in the same order and posi-
tion as removed.
(4) Inspect the springs and retainer for cracks and
possible signs of weakening.
(5) Install an air hose adaptor in the fuel injector
hole.
(6) Connect an air hose to the adapter and apply
air pressure slowly. Maintain at least 621 kPa (90psi) of air pressure in the cylinder to hold the valves
against their seats.
(7) Tap the retainer or tip with a rawhide hammer
to loosen the lock from the retainer. Use Valve Spring
Compressor Tool to compress the spring and remove
the locks.
(8) Remove valve spring and retainer.
Inspect the valve stems, especially the grooves. An
Arkansas smooth stone should be used to remove
nicks and high spots.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install valve spring and retainer.
(2) Compress the valve spring with Valve Spring
Compressor Tool and insert the valve locks. Release
the spring tension and remove the tool. Tap the
spring from side-to-side to ensure that the spring is
seated properly on the engine cylinder head.
(3) Disconnect the air hose. Remove the adaptor
from the fuel injector hole and install the fuel injec-
tor.
(4) Repeat the procedures for each remaining valve
spring to be removed.
(5) Install the push rods. Ensure the bottom end of
each rod is centered in the plunger cap seat of the
hydraulic valve tappet.
(6) Install the rocker arm assemblies, at their orig-
inal location.
(7) Tighten the rocker arm assembly nut to 106
N´m (78 ft. lbs.) torque.
(8) Install the engine cylinder head cover, refer to
cylinder head cover installation in this section.
CYLINDER HEAD
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the battery cable.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE CYLINDER
BLOCK DRAIN PLUGS OR LOOSEN THE RADIATOR
DRAIN COCK WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND PRES-
SURIZED BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM THE
COOLANT CAN OCCUR.
(2) Drain the cooling system. Refer to Group 7,
Cooling.

(3) Zero the dial indicator on the cylinder block
mating surface.
(4) Setup the dial indicator on the piston crown
(above the center of the piston pin) 5mm (1/8 in.)
from the edge of the piston and note the measure-
ment (Fig. 31).
(5) Repeat the procedure with the rest of the cyl-
inders.
(6) Establish the thickness of the gasket for all
four cylinder heads on the basis of the greatest pis-
ton protrusion (Fig. 32).
INSTALLATION CYLINDER HEAD
(1) Remove the shop towels from the cylinder
bores. Coat the bores with clean engine oil.
(2) Install cylinder head alignment studs
(VM-1009).
(3) After determining the correct head gasket
thickness, clean the block and head mating surfaces,
place the engine cylinder head gasket over the dow-
els.
(4) Place the engine cylinder head over the dowels.
CAUTION: Engine cylinder head bolts can be
reused up to three times.(5) Tighten the engine cylinder head bolts in
sequence according to the following procedure (Fig.
33):
a. The threads and underside heads of the bolts
should be lubricated. Use the cylinder head align-
ment studs tool number VM-1009. Position the heads
on the block and secure with the ten large center
bolts and spacers (clamps), finger tight only.
b. Ensure that the various clamps are installed
correctly and the head gasket remain in their proper
position, completely covered. Then, lubricate and
install the eight small bolts, also finger tight.
(6) Loosen assembly oil feed line for rocker arm
assemblies
(7) Install the intake and exhaust manifolds with
new gaskets, partially tightening the nuts to a max-
imum of 5 N´m (44 in. lbs.). This will align the heads
(refer to Group 11, Exhaust System and Intake Man-
ifold for the proper procedures). Install lift eye and
brake vacuum tube at this time.
(8) Then, tighten the 12mm bolts with special tool
VM-1019 in the following manner:
(9)1st Phase:Tightening Head Bolts (Fig. 33).
Central bolts (A-L): Tighten all bolts, starting with
bolt A then B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-L, to 30 N´m. Repeat
the operation with the same torque. Following the
same sequence rotate each bolt through an angle of
