INSPECT INTAKE VALVE
Using a gasket scraper, chip off any carbon from the intake valve head.
Note
Be careful not to damage the intake valve face.
Using a wire brush, thoroughly clean the intake valve.
Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of the intake valve stem.
| Standard intake valve stem diameter |
|---|
| 4.92 mm (0.194 in.) |
INSPECT EXHAUST VALVE
Using a gasket scraper, chip off any carbon from the exhaust valve head.
Note
Be careful not to damage the exhaust valve face.
Using a wire brush, thoroughly clean the exhaust valve.
Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of the exhaust valve stem.
| Standard exhaust valve stem diameter |
|---|
| 4.92 mm (0.194 in.) |
INSPECT INTAKE VALVE SEAT
Apply a light coat of Prussian blue to the intake valve face.
Lightly press the valve face against the intake valve seat.
Tech Tips
Do not rotate the valve while pressing the intake valve.
Check the intake valve face and intake valve seat by using the following procedure.
Check that Prussian blue appears around the entire intake valve face and that the blue mark and intake valve face are concentric. If not, replace the intake valve.
Check that Prussian blue appears around the entire intake valve seat and that the intake valve guide and intake valve face are concentric. If not, resurface the intake valve seat.
| *a | Width |
Check that the intake valve seat contacts in the middle of the intake valve face with a width of 1.2 mm (0.0472 in.).
INSPECT EXHAUST VALVE SEAT
Apply a light coat of Prussian blue to the exhaust valve face.
Lightly press the exhaust valve face against the exhaust valve seat.
Tech Tips
Do not rotate the valve while pressing the exhaust valve.
Check the exhaust valve face and exhaust valve seat by using the following procedure.
Check that Prussian blue appears around the entire exhaust valve face and that the blue mark and exhaust valve face are concentric. If not, replace the exhaust valve.
Check that Prussian blue appears around the entire exhaust valve seat and that the exhaust valve guide and exhaust valve face are concentric. If not, resurface the exhaust valve seat.
| *a | Width |
Check that the exhaust valve seat contacts in the middle of the exhaust valve face with a width of 1.4 mm (0.0551 in.).
