Valve Seals
Replacement (cylinder head removal not required)
The procedure shown below applies when using the in-
car valve spring compressor (Snap-on YA8845 with
YA8845-2A 7/8" auachment). Use approved eye protec-
tion.
1. Turn the crankshaft so that the No. 1 and the No. 4
pistons are at top dead center (TDC).
2. Remove the cylinder head cover.
3. Remove the distributor.
4. Loosen and disconnect the timing belt from the
camshaft pulleys.
5. Remove the camshaft holder bolts. then remove the
camshaft holders, the camshafts and rocker arms.
lntake Valve Seals
6. Using the 6 mm bolts supplied with the tool, mount
the two uprights to the cylinder head at the end
camshaft holders. The uprights fit as shown.
7. Insert the cross shaft through the top hole of the
two uprights,
at.
9.
Select the 7/8 in. diameter long compressor attach-
ment, and fasten the attachment to the front hole of
the lever arm with the speed pin supplied.
Position the piston at TDC, and insen an air adaptor
into the spark plug hole. Pump air into the cylinder
to keep the valve closed while compressing the
springs and removing the valve keepers.
10. Put shop towels over the oil passages to prevent
the valve keepers from falling into the cylinder
head.
Position the lever arm under the cross shaft so the
lever is perpendicular to the shaft and the compres-
sor attachment rests on top of the retainer for the
spring being compressed. Use the rear position slot
on the lever as shown,
't1.

Connecting Rod Code Location
Numbers have been stamped on the side of each con-
necting rod as a code for the size of the big end. Use
lhem, and the letters stamped on the crankshaft (codes
for rod journal size), to choose the correct bearings.
lf the codes are indeciDherable because of an accumula-
tion of dirt and dust, do not scrub them with a wire
brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent or deter-
gent.

NOTE: Whenever any crankshaft or connecting rod
bearing is replaced, it is necessary after reassembly
to run the engine at idling speed until it reaches
normal operating temperature, then continue to run
it for approximatelY 15 minutes.

NOTE:
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying the liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing the
old residue.
