    2. B004QI9

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

      Standard Valve Stem Diameter
      Specified Condition
      5.470 to 5.485 mm
      0.215 to 0.216 in.

      Tech Tips

      If the valve stem diameter is not as specified, check the intake valve guide bush oil clearance.

    3. B004Q6IC01
      *a Margin Thickness

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the valve head margin thickness.

      Standard Margin Thickness
      Minimum Margin Thickness Specified Condition
      0.5 mm 1.0 mm
      0.0197 in. 0.0394 in.

      Tech Tips

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

  4. INSPECT EXHAUST VALVE


    1. B004P5IC01
      *a Overall Length

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the overall length of the exhaust valve.

      Standard Overall Length
      Minimum Overall Length Specified Condition
      107.75 mm 108.25 mm
      4.24 in. 4.26 in.

      Tech Tips

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

    2. B004QNR

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

      Standard Valve Stem Diameter
      Specified Condition
      5.465 to 5.480 mm
      0.215 to 0.216 in.

      Tech Tips

      If the valve stem diameter is not as specified, check the exhaust valve guide bush oil clearance.

    3. B004R0FC01
      *a Margin Thickness

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the valve head margin thickness.

      Standard Margin Thickness
      Minimum Margin Thickness Specified Condition
      0.5 mm 1.0 mm
      0.0197 in. 0.0394 in.

      Tech Tips

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

  5. INSPECT INNER COMPRESSION SPRING


    1. B004QNU

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the inner compression spring.

      Standard Free Length
      58.52 mm (2.30 in.) or 58.90 mm (2.32 in.)

      Note

      Inner compression springs come in 2 different lengths. Make sure all inner compression springs are the same length when replacing them.

    2. B004OO0C01
      *a Angle
      *b 40 mm (1.57 in.)

      Using a steel square, measure the angle of the inner compression spring.

      Maximum Angle (Reference)
      Specified Condition
      2 °

      Tech Tips

      If the deviation is greater than the maximum, replace the inner compression spring.

  6. INSPECT VALVE GUIDE BUSH OIL CLEARANCE


    1. B004OHW

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

      Standard Valve Guide Bush Inside Diameter
      Specified Condition
      5.510 to 5.530 mm
      0.217 to 0.218 in.

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

      Standard Oil Clearance
      Item Maximum Oil Clearance Specified Condition
      Intake 0.080 mm 0.025 to 0.060 mm
      Intake 0.00315 in. 0.000984 to 0.00236 in.

      Exhaust 0.00335 in. 0.00118 to 0.00256 in.

      Tech Tips


      • Oil clearance = Inside diameter - Valve stem diameter

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

  7. INSPECT VALVE SEATS


    1. B004QKLC01
      *a Width

      Apply a light coat of Prussian blue to the valve face.

    2. Lightly press the valve face against the valve seat.

      Note

      Do not rotate the valve while pressing it.

    3. Check the valve face and valve seat.


      1. If Prussian blue appears 360° around the entire valve face, the valve face is concentric.

        Tech Tips

        If the valve face is not concentric, replace the valve.

      2. If Prussian blue appears 360° around the entire valve seat, the valve seat and valve face are concentric.

        Tech Tips

        If the valve face is not concentric, resurface the valve seat.
