CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
There are two cylinder head assembly shapes. Valve spring type A can only be used with cylinder head type A and valve spring type B can only be used with cylinder head type B. The combination cannot be changed.
Tech Tips
When viewed from the rear of the engine assembly, Bank 1 is on the left side and Bank 2 is on the right side.
The standard protrusion amount (A) of the valve guide bush determines whether the cylinder head is type A or B.
| Type | Specified Condition |
|---|---|
| Cylinder Head Type A | 14.3 to 14.7 mm (0.563 to 0.579 in.) |
| Cylinder Head Type B | 15.8 to 16.2 mm (0.622 to 0.638 in.) |
| *A | Valve Spring Type A |
| *B | Valve Spring Type B |
| *1 | No. 1 Valve Rocker Arm Sub-assembly |
| *2 | Valve Spring Retainer |
| *3 | Inner Compression Spring |
| *a | Valve Spring Retainer Outer Diameter |
| *b | No. 1 Valve Rocker Arm Roller Width |
The shape of the inner compression spring determines whether the valve spring type is A or B.
The No. 1 valve rocker arm, inner compression spring and valve spring retainer have two different shapes and are not interchangeable.
| Valve Spring Type | No. 1 Valve Rocker Arm Roller Width | Valve Spring Retainer Outer Diameter | Inner Compression Spring Shape |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 10.7 mm (0.421 in.) | 23.4 mm (0.921 in.) | Straight |
| B | 8.0 mm (0.315 in.) | 18.9 mm (0.744 in.) | Taper |
