VALVE SPRING
The force of the coil spring keeps the valve seat tight. A weak·
ened spring results
in
reduced engine power output and
accounts for the chattering noise coming from the valve mecha·
nism.
Check the valve springs for proper strength by measuring their
free length and also
by
the force required to compress them. If
the spring length is Jess Ihan the service limit or
if
the force
required to compress the valve spring is not within specification,
replace both the inner and outer springs as a set.
