CYLINDER HEAD INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY

Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the warpage of the contact surfaces where the cylinder head contacts the cylinder block and manifold.

*a	Cylinder Head Lower Side	*b	Intake Manifold Side
*c	Exhaust Manifold Side	-	-

Maximum Warpage

Item	Specified Condition
Cylinder head lower side	0.05 mm (0.00197 in.)
Intake manifold side	0.10 mm (0.0394 in.)
Exhaust manifold side	0.10 mm (0.0394 in.)

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

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

If cracked, replace the cylinder head sub-assembly.

  If the free length is not as specified, replace the compression spring.
2. *1 Deviation
  
  Using a steel square, measure the deviation of the compression spring.
  
  Maximum deviation
  
  1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)
  
  Maximum angle
  
  2°
  
  If the deviation is more than the maximum, replace the compression spring.

  Standard overall length
  
  103.92 mm (4.09 in.)
  
  Minimum overall length
  
  103.42 mm (4.07 in.)
  
  If the overall length is less than the minimum, replace the intake valve.

  Standard margin thickness
  
  1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)
  
  Minimum margin thickness
  
  0.50 mm (0.0197 in.)
  
  If the margin thickness is less than the minimum, replace the exhaust valve.
3. Using a vernier caliper, measure the overall length of the valve.
  
  Standard overall length
  
  112.91 mm (4.44 in.)
  
  Minimum overall length
  
  112.41 mm (4.43 in.)
  
  If the overall length is less than the minimum, replace the exhaust valve.

INSPECT VALVE GUIDE BUSH OIL CLEARANCE

Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the guide bush.

Standard bush inside diameter

5.510 to 5.530 mm (0.2169 to 0.2177 in.)

Standard bush inside diameter
5.510 to 5.530 mm (0.2169 to 0.2177 in.)

Subtract the valve stem diameter measurement from the guide bush inside diameter measurement.

Standard Oil Clearance

Item	Specified Condition
Intake	0.025 to 0.060 mm (0.000984 to 0.00236 in.)
Exhaust	0.030 to 0.065 mm (0.00118 to 0.00256 in.)

Maximum Oil Clearance

Item	Specified Condition
Intake	0.08 mm (0.00315 in.)
Exhaust	0.10 mm (0.00394 in.)

If the oil clearance is more than the maximum, replace the valve and valve guide bush.

INSPECT INTAKE VALVE SEAT
1. Apply a light coat of Prussian blue to the valve face.
2. *1 Width
  
  Lightly press the valve face against the valve seat.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  Do not rotate the valve while pressing the valve.
3. Check the valve face and valve seat.
  1. Check that the contact surfaces of the valve seat and valve face are in the middle area of their respective surfaces, with the width between 1.1 and 1.5 mm (0.0433 and 0.0591 in.).
    
    If not, correct the valve seat.
  2. Check that the contact surfaces of the valve seat and valve face are even around the entire valve seat.
    
    If not, correct the valve seat.

  2. Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while moving the camshaft back and forth.
    
    Standard Thrust Clearance
    
    0.060 to 0.155 mm (0.00236 to 0.00610 in.)
