Free Length and Tilt of Valve Spring
1. Measure the free length (B) of valve spring with vernier calipers.
If the measurement is less than the allowable limit, replace it.
2. Put the valve spring on a surface plate, place a square on the
side of the valve spring.
3. Check to see if the entire side is in contact with the square.
Rotate the valve spring and measure the maximum tilt (A).
If the measurement exceeds the allowable limit, replace it.
4. Check the entire surface of the valve spring for scratches.
If there is any problem, replace it.

Oil Clearance between Rocker Arm and Rocker Arm Shaft
1. Measure the rocker arm shaft O.D. with an outside micrometer.
2. Measure the rocker arm I.D. with an inside micrometer, and
then calculate the oil clearance.
3. If the oil clearance exceeds the allowable limit, replace the
rocker arm and measure the oil clearance again. If it still
exceeds the allowable limit, replace also the rocker arm shaft.
