Start By:

  1. Remove the electronic unit injectors.

Note: The following procedure is for the removal of the inlet valve springs and the exhaust valve springs without removing the cylinder head. This procedure can be performed on only one cylinder at a time. This will prevent the inlet valves and the exhaust valves from falling into the cylinder.

  1. Rotate the crankshaft in order to bring the piston to the top center position in the cylinder.
