1. Use the J 8089 in order to clean the carbon from the combustion chambers. Be careful not to scuff the chambers.

CAUTION: Wear safety glasses In order to avoid eye damage.

2. Clean the valve stems and heads of a buffing wheel.





3. Clean the following components in solvent:
- Valve stem keys (1)
- Valve spring cap (3)
- Valve spring (4)
- Cylinder head

CAUTION: Wear safety glasses In order to avoid eye damage.

4. Dry the components with compressed air.





5. Measure the cylinder head for warpage with a straight edge and feeler gauge.
5.1. A cylinder head block deck with warpage in excess of 0.10 mm (0.004 in) within a 152.4 mm (6.0 in) area must be repaired or replaced.
5.2. A cylinder head exhaust manifold deck with warpage in excess of 0.5 mm (0.002 in) within a 152.4 mm (6.0 in) area must be repaired or replaced.
5.3. A cylinder head intake manifold deck with warpage in excess of 0.10 mm (0.004 in) within a 152.4 mm (6.0 in) area must be repaired or replaced.




6. Use the J 9666 in order to measure the valve spring.

NOTE: Replace the valve spring if the spring tension is less than 338 N (76 lb) at 43.2 mm (1.70 in).





7. Inspect the valve springs for squareness.





8. Valve stems (1) with excessive guide (2) clearance must be repaired or replaced.





9. Measure the valve stem4o-guide clearance.
- Excessive valve stem-to-guide clearance may cause excessive oil consumption and may also cause a valve to break. Insufficient clearance will result in noisy and sticky functioning of the valve and will disturb the engine assembly smoothness.
- Clamp the J 8001 on the exhaust port side of the cylinder head.
- Locate the indicator so that the movement of the valve stem from side to side (crosswise to the cylinder head) will cause a direct movement of the indicator stem.

NOTE: The indicator stem must contact the side of the valve stem just above the valve guide.

- Drop the valve head about 1.6 mm (0.0064 in) off the valve seat.
- Use light pressure when moving the valve stem from side to side in order to obtain a clearance reading.

VALVE GUIDE REAMING/VALVE AND SEAT GRINDING

Tool Required
- J 8001 Dial Indicator Set





1. Use the J 8001 to measure the valve stem-to-guide clearance. Refer to Cylinder Head Clean and Inspect.





2. Improper valve stem (1) to valve guide (2) clearance may cause excessive oil consumption.





3. Ream the valve guide as necessary to achieve proper valve stem-to-guide clearance.
3.1. Ream the valve guide oversize to accept a valve guide sleeve.
3.2. Insert the valve guide sleeve into the guide bore.

- Burnt or damaged areas (1)
- Undersized valve margin (2)
- Bent stem (3)
- Scoring or other damage to the stem (4)
- Worn key groove (5) Worn stem tip (6)

7. Valves with excessive damage must be replaced.

NOTE: Minor imperfections of the valve or valve seat may be repaired.

8. Reconditioning of the valves and valve seats:
- The valves must seat perfectly for the engine to deliver optimum power and performance.
- Cooling the valve heads is another important factor. Good contact between each valve and its seat in the cylinder head is necessary to insure that the heat in the valve head is properly carried away.
- Regardless of what type of equipment is used, it is essential that the valve guide bores are free from carbon or dirt to ensure the proper centering of the pilot in the guide. The valve seats should be concentric to within 0.05 mm (0.031 in) total indicator reading.
- Reface pitted valves on a valve refacing machine in order to insure the correct relationship between the head and the stem.
- Replace the valve stems that show excessive wear or are warped.
- Replace the valve if the edge of the head is less than 0.79 mm (0.031 in) thick after grinding.
- Several different types of equipment are available for reconditioning valves and valve seats. Follow the manufacturers recommendations for equipment use to attain the proper results.
