Inspection

Cylinder Head

Inspect for flatness.

Using a precision straight edge and filler gauge, measure the surface the contacting the cylinder block and the manifolds for warpage.

If the flatness is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder head.

Flatness of cylinder head gasket surface

Standard :

Less than 0.05mm (0.0020in) for total area

Less than 0.02mm (0.0008in) for a section of 100mm (3.9370in) X 100mm (3.9370in)

2.	Inspect for cracks. Check the combustion chamber, intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder block surface for cracks. If cracked, replace the cylinder head.

Valve And Valve Spring

Inspect the valve stems and valve guides.

(1)

Using a caliper gauge, measure the inner diameter of valve guide.

Valve guide inner diameter :

5.500 ~ 5.512mm (0.2165 ~ 0.2170in)

(2)

Using a micrometer, measure the outer diameter of valve stem.

Valve stem outer diameter

Intake : 5.465 ~ 5.480mm (0.2152 ~ 0.2157in)

Exhaust : 5.458 ~ 5.470mm (0.2149 ~ 0.2154in)

(3)

Subtract the valve stem outer diameter measurement from the valve guide inner diameter measurement.

Valve stem- to-guide clearance

Intake : 0.020 ~ 0.047mm (0.0008 ~ 0.0019in)

Exhaust : 0.030 ~ 0.054mm (0.0012 ~ 0.0021in)

If the clearance is greater than specification, replace the valve or the cylinder head.

Inspect the valves.

(1)	Check the valve is ground to the correct valve face angle.

(2)	Check that the surface of valve for wear. If the valve face is worn, replace the valve.

(3)

Check the valve head margin thickness.

If the margin thickness is less than minimum, replace the valve.

Margin

Standard

Intake : 1.10mm (0.0433in)

Exhaust : 1.26mm (0.0496in)

(4)

Check the length of valve.

Valve length

Standard

Intake : 93.15mm (3.6673 in)

Exhaust : 92.60mm (3.6457 in)

(5)	Check the surface of valve stem tip for wear. If the valve stem tip is worn, replace the valve.

Inspect the valve seats.

(1)	Check the valve seat for evidence of overheating and improper contact with the valve face. If the valve seat is worn, replace the cylinder head.

(2)	Check the valve guide for wear. If the valve guide is worn, replace the cylinder head.

Inspect the valve springs.

(1)	Using a steel square, measure the out-of-square of valve spring.

(2)

Using a vernier calipers, measure the free length of valve spring.

Valve spring

Standard

Free height : 45.1mm (1.7756in)

Out of square : Less than 1.5°

Reassembly

•	Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.

•	Replace oil seals with new ones.

Install the valves.

(1)	Install the spring seats.

(2)

Using the SST (09222 - 2B100), push in a new oil seal.

•	Do not reuse old valve stem oil seals.

•	Incorrect installation of the seal could result in oil leakage past the valve guides.

Intake valve stem seals are different from exhaust ones in type.

Do not reassembly ones in the other's places.

(3)

Install the valve, valve spring and spring retainer, after applying engine oil at the end of each valve.

When installing valve springs, the enamel coated side should face the valve spring retainer.

•	Refill a radiator and a reservoir tank with engine coolant.

•	Inspect for fuel leakage.

–	After assemble the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.

–	Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

•	Bleed air from the cooling system.

–	Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.)

–	Turn Off the engine. Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system.

–	Put radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
