Valve springs are made from different metals, depending on the engine. To keep a check on spring pressures, you will need a reliable valvespring pressure checker. How to measure engine valve springs, determine spring pressure, and check for squareness Inspect the valve springs before installing them on the cylinder head. The test stand gauge shows much force it takes to compress the spring a certain distance. Valve spring height is accurately checked with a valve spring micrometer, which is first used to confirm the valve is fully seated at the correct height and shims added if the distance is too high.
