PROCEDURE
CLEAN CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY
Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the surface of the cylinder head sub-assembly that contacts the cylinder block sub-assembly.
Be careful not to scratch the surface of the cylinder head sub-assembly.
Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylinder head sub-assembly.
Using a valve guide bushing brush and solvent, clean all the valve guide bushes.
INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY
| *a | Cylinder Block Sub-assembly Side |
| *b | Intake Manifold Side |
| *c | Exhaust Manifold Side |
Inspect the cylinder head sub-assembly for warpage.
Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the surfaces of the cylinder head sub-assembly that contact the cylinder block sub-assembly and manifolds for warpage.

|---|
| 0.15 mm (0.00591 in.) |
If the warpage is more than the maximum, replace the cylinder head sub-assembly.
Inspect the cylinder head sub-assembly for cracks.
Using a dye penetrant, check the combustion chamber, intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder block sub-assembly surface for cracks.
If there are cracks, replace the cylinder head sub-assembly.

If the overall length is less than the minimum, replace the exhaust valve.
Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear.
If the valve stem tip is worn, resurface the tip with a grinder or replace the exhaust valve.
Do not grind the valve so it becomes shorter than the minimum overall length.
INSPECT INNER COMPRESSION SPRING
| *a | Deviation |
Using a steel square, measure the deviation of the inner compression spring.
| Maximum deviation |
|---|
| 2.0 mm (0.0787 in.) |
If the deviation is more than the maximum, replace the inner compression spring.
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the inner compression spring.
| Standard free length |
|---|
| 46.5 mm (1.83 in.) |
If the free length is not as specified, replace the inner compression spring.
Using a spring tester, measure the tension of the inner compression spring at the specified installed length.
