Title: Valve spring washer arrangement Post by: impaw on 08 September, 2023, 10:42:47 AM Hello,
I couldn't find any exploded views of the valve spring arrangement for 2.5litre cars, so I was wondering if you could verify that this arrangement is correct? In addition to the valve tabs and valve caps and valve "hats" I have two washers with an OD of 30mm and 20mm. These should be placed between the caps and the springs I take it? But are they necessary, or are they a previous owners quick fix for tired valve springs? Thank you!

I dont think the smaller washers are original. Chris Title: Re: Valve spring washer arrangement Post by: impaw on 08 September, 2023, 12:07:17 PM thank you Chris!
