CYLINDER HEAD INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, check the surfaces which contact the cylinder block sub-assembly and manifolds for warpage.

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

      Standard Margin Thickness
      1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)
      Minimum Margin Thickness
      0.5 mm (0.0197 in.)

      Tech Tips

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

    3. B006OMMC20
      *a Overall Length

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

      Standard Overall Length
      110.40 mm (4.3464 in.)
      Minimum Overall Length
      109.90 mm (4.3268 in.)

      Tech Tips

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

  5. INSPECT INTAKE VALVE SEAT


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

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

      Note

      Do not rotate the intake valve while pressing it.

    3. B006NQBC01
      *a Width

      Check the valve face and intake valve seat by using the following procedure:


      1. If Prussian blue appears 360° around the entire intake valve face, the valve face is concentric. If the valve face is not concentric, replace the intake valve.

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

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

      3. Measure the width of the contact area of the intake valve seat and valve face.

        Standard Width
        1.1 and 1.5 mm (0.0433 and 0.0591 in.)

  6. INSPECT EXHAUST VALVE SEAT


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

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

      Note

      Do not rotate the exhaust valve while pressing it.

    3. B006NQBC01
      *a Width

      Check the valve face and exhaust valve seat by using the following procedure:


      1. If Prussian blue appears 360° around the entire exhaust valve face, the valve face is concentric. If the valve face is not concentric, replace the exhaust valve.

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

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

      3. Measure the width of the contact area of the exhaust valve seat and valve face.

        Standard Width

      Standard Free Length
      50.55 mm (1.9902 in.)

      Tech Tips

      If the free length is not as specified, replace the inner compression spring.

    2. B006QW9C14
      *a Deviation
      *b 40 mm (1.57 in.)

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

      1.4 mm (0.0551 in.)
      Maximum Angle (Reference)
      2°

      Tech Tips

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

  8. INSPECT VALVE GUIDE BUSH OIL CLEARANCE


    1. B006NHP

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

      Standard Valve Guide Bush Inside Diameter
      5.510 to 5.530 mm (0.2169 to 0.2177 in.)

    2. Subtract the valve stem diameter measurement from the valve 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.)

      Tech Tips

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