PROCEDURE
INSTALL SPARK PLUG TUBE
Tech Tips
When using a new cylinder head sub-assembly, the spark plug tubes must be replaced.
| *a | Application Width |
| *b | 1.0 to 13.0 mm (0.0394 to 0.512 in.) |
Apply adhesive to a new spark plug tube as shown in the illustration.
| Adhesive |
|---|
| Toyota Genuine Adhesive 1324, Three Bond 1324 or equivalent |
| Standard Application Width |
|---|
| 1.0 to 3.0 mm (0.0394 to 0.118 in.) |
Note
Install the spark plug tube within 3 minutes of applying adhesive.
Be careful not to deform the spark plug tube.
Be careful not to expose the adhesive to engine oil for at least 1 hour after installing the spark plug tube.
| *a | Wooden Block |
| *b | Protrusion Height |
Using a wooden block and hammer, tap in the spark plug tube to the specified protrusion height.
| Standard Protrusion Height |
|---|
| 122 mm (4.80 in.) |
Note
To avoid tapping in the spark plug tube too far, measure the protrusion height while tapping it.
INSTALL NO. 2 STRAIGHT SCREW PLUG
Tech Tips
If coolant leaks from a No. 2 straight screw plug or a plug is corroded, replace it.
Using a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench, install 3 new gaskets and the 3 No. 2 straight screw plugs to the cylinder head sub-assembly.
INSTALL VALVE SPRING SEAT
Install the 16 valve spring seats to the cylinder head sub-assembly.
INSTALL VALVE STEM OIL SEAL
| *a | Intake Side |
| *b | Exhaust Side |
| *c | Gray |
| *d | Black |
Apply a light coat of engine oil to 16 new valve stem oil seals.
Note
Pay attention when installing the intake valve stem oil seals. For example, installing an intake side valve stem oil seal to the exhaust side or installing an exhaust side valve stem oil seal to the intake side can cause installation problems later.
Tech Tips
The intake valve stem oil seal is gray and the exhaust valve stem oil seal is black.
| *a | Correct |
| *b | Incorrect |
Using SST, push in the 16 valve stem oil seals.
Note
Failure to use SST will cause the intake valve stem oil seal to be damaged or improperly seated.
Do not push in the intake valve stem oil seals at an angle.
INSTALL EXHAUST VALVE
| *a | 30 mm (1.18 in.) or more |
Sufficiently apply engine oil to the tip area of the exhaust valve shown in the illustration.
| *1 | Inner Compression Spring |
| *2 | Valve Spring Retainer |
| *3 | Cylinder Head Sub-assembly |
|
Top Side |
Install the 8 exhaust valves, 8 inner compression springs and 8 valve spring retainers to the cylinder head sub-assembly.
Note
Install the inner compression spring with its tapered side facing upward (towards the valve spring retainer).
Install the same parts in the same combination to their original locations.
| *a | Wooden Block |
Using SST and wooden blocks, compress the inner compression spring and install the 8 valve spring retainer locks.
| *a | Plastic Hammer |
| *b | Wooden Block |
Using a plastic hammer, lightly tap the valve stem tip to ensure a proper fit.
Note
Be careful not to damage the valve stem tip.
Be careful not to damage the valve spring retainer.
INSTALL INTAKE VALVE
| *a | 30 mm (1.18 in.) or more |
Sufficiently apply engine oil to the tip area of the intake valve shown in the illustration.
| *1 | Inner Compression Spring |
| *2 | Valve Spring Retainer |
| *3 | Cylinder Head Sub-assembly |
|
Top Side |
Install the 8 intake valves, 8 inner compression springs and 8 valve spring retainers to the cylinder head sub-assembly.
Note
Install the inner compression spring with its tapered side facing upward (towards the valve spring retainer).
Install the same parts in the same combination to their original locations.
| *a | Wooden Block |
Using SST and wooden blocks, compress the inner compression spring and install the 8 valve spring retainer locks.
| *a | Plastic Hammer |
| *b | Wooden Block |
Using a plastic hammer, lightly tap the valve stem tip to ensure a proper fit.
Note
Be careful not to damage the valve stem tip.
Be careful not to damage the valve spring retainer.
