  Q: How to Service and Repair Exhaust Valve and Intake Valves in an Engine on Dodge Sprinter 2500?

  A:

  Before fixing the valves, first remove the negative Battery Cable and remove both the engine cover and the cylinder head. Before you remove the valves, mark where each valve is in the cylinder head so you don't risk setting them incorrectly and harming the engine during reassembly. Place the retaining fork onto the threaded edge of the cylinder head, using a tool and slide the thrust piece up into the valve spring retainer. With the valve spring secured in a compressor, take out the valve collets, top valve spring retainer, valve spring and valve stem seals. Run through these steps for every valve that needs repair, ensuring you keep the valves, springs and retainers together the same way they were taken out. Inspect every component of the valves after you remove them to look for any kind of damage or wear and change them if that is the case. Build up the assembly in the cylinder head again, starting with the valves, then adding the lower valve spring retainer, the valve stem seal, valve spring and valve spring retainer and checking that the valve keepers are fitted properly. Repeat the process for every valve by compressing the valve spring, installing the valve keepers and letting go of the screw. Once you have finished the valve assembly, put the cylinder head on the engine block, add the Glow Plugs and link up the negative battery cable. When the engine is turned on, watch your movements carefully and never directly touch the fan, any close parts like belts or pulleys or the fan belt, all while wearing clothes that have close fits. Turn on the car, be on the lookout for leaks, keep an eye on the fuel system symbols and attach the engine cover after that.
