  Q: How to Remove and Replace Exhaust Valve and Intake Valves on Dodge Nitro?

  A:

  The first thing to do is to remove and separate the negative Battery Cable before handling intake and exhaust valves. After that, disconnect the cylinder head covers, remove the Rocker Arms and then adjust the lash. After that, you need to loosen the Camshaft bearing caps, remove the camshaft and then the cylinder head(s). You should use Valve Spring Compressor C-3422-D or C-3422-C together with Adapter 8519 before tapping the top of the valve spring to unlock the retainer. Once you're ready, carefully remove the two pieces from the spring lock and then get rid of the valve spring compressor. Taking out the spring retainer and the spring, inspect for sharp spots on the keeper grooves and get rid of any burrs on the valve stem before you remove the valve from the cylinder head. Because the Valve Stem Seal is the same for both systems, first remove the seal from the valve and then add a mark to ensure proper installation. Every time the valves are removed, the valve springs should be inspected and their spring function should be checked using a suitable instrument. Replace springs that are not up to standard.

  Q: How to Properly Install Exhaust Valve and Intake Valves Along with Valve Stem, Spring, Camshaft, and Rocker Arms on Dodge Nitro?

  A:

  Oil the valve stem and slide it into the cylinder head and after that fit the Valve Stem Seal over it, keeping the garter spring at the top in good place. After that, put in the spring and spring retainer and with the compressor, reduce pressure in the spring to install the two valley spring retainer halves. Once the valve is back in place, properly seat the spring retainer halves and the spring retainer, then remove the compressor. Ensure you apply clean engine oil to the Camshaft's journal, so that the left-side camshaft is at 11 o'clock and the right-side one at 12 o'clock. Then position the camshaft bearing caps. Triangle bolts tighten them until they reach 100 reg/min, 85 in. lbs. or while making half a turn round each time. Afterward, add the hydraulic lash adjusters and Rocker Arms.
