CAUTION:
^ When installing camshafts, chain tensioners, oil seals or other sliding parts, lubricate contacting surfaces with new engine oil.
^ Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces when installing the cylinder head, camshaft sprocket, crankshaft pulley and camshaft bracket.
^ Attach tags to valve lifters so all parts are assembled in their original position.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the valve collet using Tool.
^ Compress valve spring with Tool. Remove valve collet with magnet driver.
2. Remove valve spring retainer and valve spring.
CAUTION: Do not remove valve spring seat from valve spring.
3. Push valve stem to combustion chamber side, and remove valve.
^ Inspect valve guide clearance before removal. Refer to VALVE GUIDE CLEARANCE.
^ Note installation point.
4. Remove valve oil seal using Tool.
5. When valve seat must be replaced, refer to VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT.
6. When valve guide must be replaced, refer to VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT.
7. Remove spark plug with spark plug wrench.
8. Remove spark plug tube, if necessary using pliers.
CAUTION:
^ Be careful not to damage cylinder head.
^ Do not remove spark plug tube if not necessary. Once removed, the spark plug tube cannot be reused because of deformation.
ASSEMBLY
1. Install valve guide. Refer to VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT.
2. Install valve seat. Refer to VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT.
