Cylinder Head Assembly: Testing and Inspection
Cylinder HeadINSPECTION
CYLINDER HEAD
1. Make sure that no crack or other damage do not exists. In addition to visual inspection, inspect important areas using liquid penetrant tester.
Also make sure the gasket installing surface shows no trace of gas and water leaks.
2. Place the cylinder head on the ST.

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 with a micrometer and the inner diameter of valve guide with a caliper gauge.
2. If the clearance between valve guide and stem exceeds the limit, 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 fit the holes in ST1.
2. Insert the ST2 into 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 inner surface of 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 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 is outside of the specified limit. H.
2. Put a small amount of grinding compound on the seat surface, and lap the valve seat.
NOTE:
^ Replace with a new valve oil seal after lapping.
^ It is possible to differentiate between the intake valve and the exhaust valve by their overall length.
Valve overall length:
Intake 120.6 mm (4.75 inch)
Exhaust 121.7 mm (4.79 inch)
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, then replace it with a new part.
^ 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 the ST2, press-fit the oil seal.
CAUTION:
^ Apply engine oil to oil seal before press-fitting.
^ When press-fitting the oil seal, do not use a hammer or strike in.
^ Differentiate between the intake valve oil seal and exhaust valve oil seal by noting their difference in color.
