CYLINDER HEAD INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. CLEAN CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the surface of the cylinder head that contacts the cylinder block.

      Note

      Be careful not to scratch the surface of the cylinder head.

    2. Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylinder head.

    3. A01XMIU

      Using a valve guide bushing brush and solvent, clean all the guide bushes.

  2. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY

      *A Cylinder Block Side
      *B Intake Manifold Side
      *C Exhaust Manifold Side

      Inspect the cylinder head for warpage.


      1. Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the surfaces of the cylinder head that contact the cylinder block and manifolds for warpage.

        Maximum warpage
        0.15 mm (0.00591 in.)

        If the warpage is more than the maximum, replace the cylinder head sub-assembly.

    2. Inspect the cylinder head for cracks.


      1. Using a dye penetrant, check the combustion chamber, intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder block surface for cracks.

        If there are cracks, replace the cylinder head sub-assembly.

  3. CLEAN INTAKE VALVE


    1. Using a gasket scraper, chip off any carbon from the valve head.

    2. Using a wire brush, thoroughly clean the valve.

  4. INSPECT INTAKE VALVE


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

      Standard valve stem diameter
      5.970 to 5.985 mm (0.235 to 0.236 in.)

      If the diameter is not as specified, replace the intake valve.

      *1 Valve Face Angle

      Check the valve face angle.


      1. Grind the valve enough to remove any pits and carbon.

      2. Check that the valve is ground to the correct valve face angle.

        Standard valve face angle
        44.5°

        If the result is not as specified, replace the valve.

      Standard margin thickness
      1.1 mm (0.0433 in.)
      Minimum margin thickness
      0.8 mm (0.0315 in.)

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

    4. Check the overall valve length.

      Standard overall length
      105.15 to 105.75 mm (4.14 to 4.16 in.)
      Minimum overall length
      104.65 mm (4.12 in.)

      If the overall length is less than the minimum, replace the intake valve.

    5. A01XHC9E04

      Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear.

      If the valve stem tip is worn, resurface the tip with a grinder or replace the intake valve.

      Note

      Do not grind the valve so it becomes shorter than the minimum overall length.

  5. CLEAN EXHAUST VALVE


    1. Using a gasket scraper, chip off any carbon from the valve head.

    2. Using a wire brush, thoroughly clean the exhaust valve.

  6. INSPECT EXHAUST VALVE

      Standard margin thickness
      1.2 mm (0.0472 in.)
      Minimum margin thickness
      0.7 mm (0.0276 in.)

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

    4. Check the overall valve length.

      Standard overall length
      105.02 to 105.62 mm (4.13 to 4.16 in.)
      Minimum overall length
      104.52 mm (4.11 in.)

      If the overall length is less than the minimum, replace the exhaust valve.

    5. A01XHC9

      Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear.

      If the valve stem tip is worn, resurface the tip with a grinder or replace the exhaust valve.

      Note
