INSPECTION

CYLINDER HEAD
1) Make sure that no crack or other damages do not exist. In addition to visual inspection, inspect important areas using liquid penetrant tester. Check that there are no marks of gas leaking or water leaking on gasket installing surface.
2) Set the cylinder head on ST.
ST 18250AA010 CYLINDER HEAD TABLE
3) Check for warpage at mating surface between the cylinder block and cylinder head using a straight edge (A) and thickness gauge (B). If the warpage exceeds limit, replace the cylinder head.
Surface warpage limit: 0.02 mm (0.0008 in)
Standard height of cylinder head. 124 ± 0.05 mm (4.88 ± 0.0020 in)

NOTE: Uneven torque for the cylinder head bolts can cause warping. When reinstalling, 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 seat width W.
Intake:
Standard: 1.0 mm (0.039 in)
Exhaust.
Standard: 1.5 mm (0.059 in)





VALVE GUIDE
1) Check the clearance between valve guide and stem. The clearance can be checked by measuring the valve stem outer diameter with a micrometer and valve guide inner diameter with a caliper gauge respectively.
Clearance between the valve guide and valve stem:
Standard:
Intake: 0. 030 - 0.057 mm (0.00 12 - 0.0022 in)
Exhaust: 0.040 - 0.067 mm (0.0016 - 0.0026 in)
2) If the clearance between valve guide and stem exceeds the standard, replace the valve guide or valve itself whichever shows greater amount of wear or damaged and etc. See the following procedure for valve guide replacement.
Valve guide inner diameter: 5.500 - 5.512 mm (0.2165 - 0.2170 in)
Valve stem outer diameters:
Intake: 5.455 - 5.470 mm (0.2148 - 0.2154 in)
Exhaust: 5.445 - 5.460 mm (0.2144 - 0.2150 in)
a) Place the cylinder head on ST1 with the combustion chamber upward so that valve guides fit the holes in ST1.
b) Insert the ST2 into valve guide and press it down to remove the valve guide.

f) Check the valve guide protrusion.
Valve guide protrusion L:
Intake: 8.6 - 9.0 mm (0.339 - 0.354 in)
Exhaust: 10. 7 - 11. 1 mm (0.421 - 0.437 in)
g) 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.
ST 499765900 VALVE GUIDE REAMER

NOTE:
^ Apply engine oil to the reamer when reaming.
^ If the inner surface of valve guide is damaged, the edge of reamer should be slightly ground with 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.

h) After reaming, clean the valve guide to remove chips.
i) 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 dimension of "H" in the figure exceeds the standard, or if offset wear occurs.
Head edge thickness H:
Intake (A):
Standard1.0 mm (0.039 in)
Exhaust (B):
Standard 1.2 mm (0.047 in)
Valve overall length:
Intake (A): 103.5 mm (4.075 in)
Exhaust (B): 103.2 mm (4.063 in)





2) Put a small amount of grinding compound on the seat surface, and lap the valve and seat surface. Install a new 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
For the following, replace the oil seal with a new part.
^ When the lip is damaged.
