Secure the Valve Springs into place on the Exhaust Valves with six (6) RP screws.

Step 02

In the same way as with the Exhaust Valves, Slide the six Intake Valves into these holes of the Left Cylinder Head:

As before, I temporarily held these valves in place with a piece of clear tape:

Turn the head over and slide six Valve Springs over the exposed stems of the Intake Valves:

Secure the Valve Springs into place on the Intake Valves with six (6) RP screws:

Step 03
