CYLINDER HEAD INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, check the contact surfaces where the cylinder head sub-assembly contacts the cylinder block sub-assembly and manifold for warpage.

      B0076WNC02
      *a Cylinder Head Bottom *b Intake Manifold Side
      *c Exhaust Manifold Side - -
      Maximum Warpage
      Item Specified Condition
      Cylinder Head Bottom 0.05 mm (0.00197 in.)
      Intake Manifold Side 0.10 mm (0.00394 in.)
      Exhaust Manifold Side 0.10 mm (0.00394 in.)

      If the warpage is more than the maximum, replace the cylinder head sub-assembly.

    2. Using a dye penetrant, check the intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder surface for cracks.

      If cracks are found, replace the cylinder head sub-assembly.

  2. INSPECT COMPRESSION SPRING


    1. B0073IEC02
      *a Paint Mark

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

      Standard Free Length
      Paint Mark Specified Condition
      Type A White (Intake Side Compression Spring) 52.17 mm (2.05 in.)
      Type B Green (Intake Side Compression Spring) 52.67 mm (2.07 in.)
      Purple (Exhaust Side Compression Spring) 61.22 mm (2.41 in.)

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

      Tech Tips

      Type A and Type B can be distinguished by the paint mark of the intake side compression spring.

    2. B007800C12
      *a 35 mm (1.38 in.)
      *b Deviation

      Using a steel square, measure the deviation of the compression spring at a point 35 mm (1.38 in.) from the bottom of the compression spring.

      Maximum Deviation
      1.22 mm (0.0480 in.)
      Maximum Angle
      2°

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

  3. INSPECT INTAKE VALVE


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

      Standard Stem Diameter
      5.470 to 5.485 mm (0.215 to 0.216 in.)
    2. B0074LLC16
      *a Margin Thickness

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

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

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

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

      Standard Overall Length
      103.92 mm (4.09 in.)
      Minimum Overall Length
      103.42 mm (4.07 in.)

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

  4. INSPECT EXHAUST VALVE


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

      Standard Stem Diameter
      5.465 to 5.480 mm (0.215 to 0.216 in.)
    2. B00731BC02
      *a Margin Thickness

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

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

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

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

      Standard Overall Length
      112.91 mm (4.45 in.)
      Minimum Overall Length
      112.41 mm (4.43 in.)

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

  5. INSPECT VALVE GUIDE BUSH OIL CLEARANCE


    1. B0076V7

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

      Standard Bush Inside Diameter
      5.510 to 5.530 mm (0.217 to 0.218 in.)

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

      Standard Oil Clearance
      Item Specified Condition
      Intake Side 0.025 to 0.060 mm (0.000984 to 0.00236 in.)

  6. INSPECT INTAKE VALVE SEAT


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

      *a Width

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

      Tech Tips

      Do not rotate the intake valve.

    3. 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
        1.0 and 1.4 mm (0.0394 and 0.0551 in.)

  7. INSPECT EXHAUST VALVE SEAT

      *a Width

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

      Tech Tips

      Do not rotate the exhaust valve.

    3. 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

  8. INSPECT CAMSHAFT THRUST CLEARANCE

      1. Install the camshaft and No. 2 camshaft.
