Before assembly, the flexibility of the valve springs
needs to be checked with an appropriate tool. Com-
pare the load and elastic deformation data with the
data of the new springs given in the Fig. 13.
NOTE: The bushing is driven in correctly when the refer-
ence C is flush with the bushing seat.
Handle all parts carefully. Do not put your hands or fin-
gers between parts. Always wear suitable safety items
such as fitted clothing, safety goggles, gloves, shoes,
etc. M954
