Cylinder Heads With Guides New cylinder heads have been introduced on the 4.236 engine. The new heads have replaceable valve guides. The differences between the earlier and current heads are explained below. The change became effective at engine serial number LD70178U040236M and up. The engine serial number is located above the fuel injection pump on the block.(1) Outer spring: Length under test force ... 27.4 mm (1.08 in)Test force ... 180 9 N (40 2 lb)Free length after test ... 45.2 mm (1.78 in)(Damper coils of spring go toward cylinder head).(2) Inner spring: Length under test force ... 23.88 mm (.940 in)Test force ... 69 9 N (15.4 2 lb)Free length after test ... 39.6 mm (1.56 in)(Damper coils of spring go toward cylinder head).Earlier Cylinder Heads Without Removable Guides
