Vacuum testing at the port(s) indicated fails to hold the recommended minimum in-Hg, or if wear is visually detected. To test balance port, valve must be moved and held about .060" to .100" against spring pressure. Inserting a retainer clip from a neighboring valve train into the balance port works well for this purpose.
