Valve - Spring Squareness

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure the out-of-square on each valve spring.
    • Turn the valve spring and observe the space between the top of the valve spring and the square. Install a new valve spring if out of square. Refer to the appropriate ENGINE article for the procedure.
