NOTE: Keep all the removed parts in order for re-installing in their original positions.
CAUTION:
^ Mark each valve to prevent confusion.
^ Use extreme care not to damage the lips of the intake valve oil seals and exhaust valve oil seals.
ASSEMBLY
1. Installation of valve spring and valve:
1 Place the cylinder head on the ST.
ST 498267800 CYLINDER HEAD TABLE
2 Coat the stem of each valve with engine oil and insert the valve into valve guide.
CAUTION: Use extreme care not to damage the oil lips when inserting the valve into valve guide.
3 Install the valve spring and retainer.
NOTE: Be sure to install the valve springs with their close coiled end facing the seat on the cylinder head.
4 Set the ST on valve spring.

5 Compress the valve spring and fit the valve spring retainer key.
6 After installing, tap the valve spring retainers lightly with a plastic hammer for better seating.
INSPECTION
CYLINDER HEAD
1. Make sure that no crack or other damage do not exist. In addition to visual inspection, inspect important areas by means of red lead check. Also make sure the gasket installing surface shows no trace of gas and water leaks.
2. Place the cylinder head on the ST.
ST 498267800 CYLINDER HEAD TABLE
3. Measure the warping of the cylinder head surface that mates with crankcase using a straight edge and thickness gauge. If the warping exceeds the limit, regrind the surface with a surface grinder.
Warping limit: 0.03 mm (0.0012 inch)
Grinding limit: 0.1 mm (0.004 inch)
Standard height of cylinder head: 97.5 mm (3.839 inch)
NOTE: Uneven torque for the cylinder head bolts can cause warping. When reassembling, pay special attention to the torque so as to tighten evenly.
VALVE SEAT
Inspect the intake and exhaust valve seats, and correct the contact surfaces with a valve seat cutter if they are defective or when valve guides are replaced.
VALVE GUIDE
1. Check the clearance between valve guide and stem. The clearance can be checked by measuring respectively the outer diameter of valve stem and inner diameter of valve guide with a micrometer.
2. If the clearance between valve guide and stem exceeds the standard value, replace the valve guide or valve itself whichever shows greater amount of wear. See the following procedure for valve guide replacement.
Valve guide inner diameter: 6.000 - 6.012 mm (0.2362 - 0.2367 inch)
Valve stem outer diameters:
Intake 5.950 - 5.965 mm (0.2343 - 0.2348 inch)
Exhaust 5.945 - 5.960 mm (0.2341 - 0.2346 inch)
1 Place the cylinder head on ST1 with the combustion chamber upward so that valve guides enter the holes in ST1.
2 Insert ST2 into the valve guide and press it down to remove the valve guide.

3 Turn the cylinder head upside down and place the ST as shown in the figure.

4 Before installing a new valve guide, make sure that neither scratches nor damages exist on the inside surface of the valve guide holes in cylinder head.
5 Put a new valve guide, coated with sufficient oil, in cylinder, and insert the ST1 into valve guide. Press in until the valve guide upper end is flush with the upper surface of ST2.

6 Check the valve guide protrusion.
7 Ream the inside of valve guide using ST. Put the reamer in valve guide, and rotate the reamer slowly clockwise while pushing it lightly. Bring the reamer back while rotating it clockwise. After reaming, clean the valve guide to remove chips.
CAUTION:
^ Apply engine oil to the reamer when reaming.
^ If the inner surface of the valve guide is torn, the edge of the reamer should be slightly ground with an oil stone.
^ If the inner surface of the valve guide becomes lustrous and the reamer does not chip, use a new reamer or remedy the reamer.

8 Recheck the contact condition between valve and valve seat after replacing the valve guide.
INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE
1. Inspect the flange and stem of valve, and replace if damaged, worn or deformed, or if "H" exceed the standard value.
2. Put a small amount of grinding compound on the seat surface and lap the valve and seat surface. Install a new intake valve oil seal after lapping.
VALVE SPRING
1. Check the valve springs for damage, free length, and tension. Replace the valve spring if it is not within the standard value presented in the table.
2. To measure the squareness of the valve spring, stand the spring on a surface plate and measure its deflection at the top of spring using a try square.
INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE OIL SEAL
In the following case, pinch and remove the oil seal from valve using pliers, and then replace it with a new one.
^ When the lip is damaged.
^ When the spring is out of the specified position.
^ When readjusting the surfaces of intake valve and valve sheet.
^ When replacing the intake valve guide.
1. Place the cylinder head on ST1.
2. Using ST2, press-fit the oil seal.
NOTE:
^ Apply engine oil to oil seal before press-fitting.
^ Differentiate between the intake valve oil seal and exhaust valve oil seal by noting their difference in color.
