]]C[[ RETAINER LOCK INSTALLATION
Using special tool MD998772, compress the valve spring and insert the retainer lock into position.
]]D[[ CYLINDER HEAD BOLT INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Attach the head bolt washer in the direction shown in the figure.
1. Tighten the bolts in two three stages in the illustrated sequence.
Tightening torque: 108 ± 5 Nm (80 ± 4 ft. lbs.)
2. Back off the bolts once and tighten them to the specified torque in the same procedure as shown in step (1).
INSPECTION
CYLINDER HEAD
1. Check the cylinder head gasket surface for flatness by using a straightedge in the directions of A through G shown in the illustration.
Standard value: 0.03 mm (0.0012 inch)
Limit: 0.2 mm (0.007 inch)
2. If the service limit is exceeded, correct to meet the specification.
Grinding limit: *0.2 mm (0.007 inch)
3. *If the service limit is exceeded, correct to meet the specification.
Cylinder head height (specification when new): 120 mm (4.7 inches)
VALVE
1. Check the valve face for correct contact. If incorrect, reface using a valve refacer. The valve should make a uniform contact with the seat at the center of the valve face.
2. If the margin exceeds the service minimum limit, replace the valve.
Standard value:
Minimum limit:
3. Measure the valve's total length. If the measurement is less than specified, replace the valve.
Standard value:
Minimum limit:
VALVE SPRINGS
1. Measure the free height of the spring and, if it is smaller than the minimum limit, replace the spring.
Standard value: 51.0 mm (2.01 inches)
Minimum limit: 50.0 mm (1.97 inches)
2. Measure the squareness of the spring and, if the limit is exceeded, replace the spring.
Standard value: 2° or less
Limit: 4°
VALVE GUIDES
Measure the clearance between the valve guide and valve stem. If the limit is exceeded, replace the valve guide, valve, or both.
Standard value:
Limit:
VALVE SEAT
Assemble the valve, then measure the valve stem projection between the end of the valve stem and the spring seating surface. If the measurement exceeds the specified limit, replace the valve seat.
Standard value: 49.30 mm (1.941 inches)
Limit: 49.80 mm (1.960 inches)
VALVE SEAT RECONDITIONING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Before correcting the valve seat, check for the clearance between the valve guide and valve and, if necessary, replace the valve guide.
1. Using the special tool or a seat grinder, correct to obtain the specified seat width and angle.
2. After correcting the valve seat, lap the valve and valve seat using lapping compound. Then, check the valve stem projection.
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Before replacing the valve seat, check the valve guide and, if necessary, replace the valve guide.
1. Cut the valve seat from the inside to thin the wall thickness. Then, remove the valve seat.
2. Rebore the valve seat hole in the cylinder head to a selected oversize valve seat diameter.
Seat ring hole diameter:
Intake valve
0.3 oversize 34.30 - 34.33 mm (1.3504 - 1.3516 inches)
0.6 oversize 34.60 - 34.63 mm (1.3622 - 1.3634 inches)
Exhaust valve
0.3 oversize 31.80 - 32.83 mm (1.2520 - 1.2531 inches)
0.6 oversize 32.10 - 32.13 mm (1.2638 - 1.2650 inches)
3. Before fitting the valve seat, either heat the cylinder head up to approximately 250°C (482°F) or cool the valve seat in liquid nitrogen, to prevent the cylinder head bore from galling.
4. Using a valve seat cutter, correct the valve seat to the specified width and angle. Using a valve seat cutter, correct the valve seat to the specified width and angle.
VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove the snap ring from the exhaust valve guide.
2. Using a press, remove the valve guide toward the cylinder head gasket surface.
CAUTION: Do not install a valve guide of the same size again.
3. Rebore the valve guide hole of the cylinder head so that it fits the press-fitted oversize valve guide.
Valve guide hole diameter:
0.05 oversize 11.05 - 11.07 mm (0.4350 - 0.4358 inch)
0.25 oversize 11.25 - 11.27 mm (0.4429 - 0.4457 inch)
0.50 oversize 11.50 - 11.52 mm (0.4528 - 0.4535 inch)
4. Install the new snap ring into the groove of exhaust valve guide.
5. Press-fit the valve guide until it protrudes 14 mm (0.55 inch) from the cylinder head top surface as shown in the illustration.
NOTE: When press-fitting the valve guide, work from the cylinder head top surface. After installing the valve guides, insert new valves in them to check for sliding condition.
