VALVE SPRING

Squareness

Valve Spring Squareness

  1. 1
    Measure "S" dimension. Out-of-square:

    SEM288A
  2. 2
    If it exceeds the limit, replace spring.

Out-of-square (Unit: mm (in))

Less than 2.2 (0.087)
SR20DET InnerLess than 1.8 (0.071)
SR20DET OuterLess than 2.1 (0.083)

Pressure

Check valve spring pressure.

Pressure: N (kg, lb) at height mm (in)
