Valve Spring: Installation

Install springs with paint stripe (tight coil end) against head. Install retainer and keepers. All springs must have same color code, wire gauge, and length. Install remaining components to complete installation.

NOTE: On 3.2L engines, the intake valve spring installed height has been changed to 1.457-1.535" (37-39 mm). New cylinder heads which use the modified spring height are marked with an "S" on the intake valve side.
