To prevent the loss of tension, do not compress
the valve spring more than necessary.
Mark the disassembled parts so that they can be
reassembled into the original position later.
Take precautions not to damage the cylinder
head gasket attachment.
Replace the valve spring with new one if the
length of any one is less than the service limit.
