Inspection After Disassembly

VALVE DIMENSIONS
^ Check dimensions of each valve.
^ If dimensions are out of the standard, replace valve.

VALVE GUIDE CLEARANCE

Valve Stem Diameter





Measure the diameter of valve stem with a micrometer (A).
Standard
Intake: 5.465 - 5.480 mm (0.2152 - 0.2157 in)
Exhaust: 5.455 - 5.470 mm (0.2148 - 0.2154 in)

Valve Guide Inner Diameter
Measure the inner diameter of valve guide with a bore gauge.
Standard: 5.500 - 5.518 mm (0.2165 - 0.2172 in)

Valve Guide Clearance
(Valve guide clearance) = (Valve guide inner diameter) - (Valve stem diameter).
Valve guide clearance:
Standard
Intake: 0.020 - 0.053 mm (0.0008 - 0.0021 in)
Exhaust: 0.030 - 0.063 mm (0.0012 - 0.0025 in)
Limit: 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
^ If it exceeds the limit, replace valve guide and/or valve.

VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT
When valve guide is removed, replace with oversized [0.2 mm (0.008 in)] valve guide.





1. To remove valve guide, heat cylinder head to 110 degrees to 130 degrees C (230 degrees to 266 degrees F) by soaking in heated oil (A).





2. Drive out valve guide using suitable tools.

CAUTION:
Cylinder head contains heat, when working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.






3. Ream cylinder head valve guide hole using suitable tool (A).
Valve guide hole diameter (for service parts): 9.675 - 9.696 mm (0.3809 - 0.3817 in)





4. Heat cylinder head to 110 degrees to 130 degrees C (230 degrees to 266 degrees F) by soaking in heated oil (A).





5. Press valve guide (1) from camshaft side to dimensions as shown.
2: Cylinder head
Projection "H": 13.35 - 13.65 mm (0.526 - 0.537 in)

CAUTION:
Cylinder head contains heat, when working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.






6. Apply reamer finish to valve guide using suitable tool (A).
Standard: 5.500 - 5.518 mm (0.2165 - 0.2172 in)

VALVE SEAT CONTACT
^ After confirming that the dimensions of valve guides and valves are within specifications, perform this procedure.
^ Apply prussian blue (or white lead) onto contacting surface of valve seat to check the condition of the valve contact on the surface.





^ Check if the contact area band is continuous all around the circumference.
^ If not, grind to adjust valve fitting and check again. If the contacting surface still has NG conditions even after the recheck, replace valve seat.

VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT
When valve seat is removed, replace with oversized [0.5 mm (0.020 in)] valve seat.
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring should not continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess in cylinder head. Set the machine depth stop to ensure this.





2. Ream cylinder head (1) recess diameter for service valve seat.
2: Valve seat
Oversize [0.5 mm (0.020 in)]
Intake: 35.200 - 35.227 mm (1.3858 - 1.3869 in)
Exhaust: 29.200 - 29.227 mm (1.1496 - 1.1507 in)
^ Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide center. This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.





3. Heat cylinder head to 110 degrees to 130 degrees C (230 degrees to 266 degrees F) by soaking in heated oil (A).
4. Provide valve seats cooled well with dry ice. Press-fit valve seat into cylinder head.

CAUTION:
^ Never touch cold valve seats directly.
^ Cylinder head contains heat, when working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.






5. Using valve seat cutter set or valve seat grinder, finish valve seat to the specified dimensions.

CAUTION:
When using valve seat cutter, firmly grip the cutter handle with both hands. Then, press on the contacting surface all around the circumference to cut in a single drive. Improper pressure on with the cutter or cutting many different times may result in stage valve seat.


6. Using compound, grind to adjust valve fitting.
7. Check again for normal contact. Follow the "VALVE SEAT CONTACT" procedure.

VALVE SPRING SQUARENESS





^ Set try square along the side of valve spring and rotate the spring. Measure the maximum clearance between the top of valve spring and try square.

CAUTION:
Never remove valve spring seat from valve spring.


Limit: 1.9 mm (0.075 in)
^ If it exceeds the limit, replace valve spring (with valve spring seat)

VALVE SPRING DIMENSIONS AND VALVE SPRING PRESSURE LOAD





^ Check valve spring pressure with valve spring seat installed at the specified spring height.

CAUTION:
Never remove valve spring seat from valve spring.






^ If the installation load or load with valve open is out of the standard, replace valve spring (with valve spring seat).
