| *a | Valve Spring Retainer Diameter |
| *b | No. 1 Valve Rocker Arm Sub-assembly Roller Width |
| Type | No. 1 Valve Rocker Arm Sub-assembly Roller Width | Valve Spring Retainer Diameter | Inner Compression Spring Shape |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 10.7 mm (0.421 in.) | 23.4 mm (0.921 in.) | Straight |
| B | 8.0 mm (0.315 in.) | 18.9 mm (0.744 in.) | Taper |
INSTALL SPARK PLUG TUBE
Tech Tips
When using a new cylinder head, the spark plug tubes must be replaced.
Apply adhesive onto the shaded area of a new spark plug tube.
| 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 after applying adhesive.
Be careful not to deform the spark plug tube.
Be careful not to expose the seal to engine oil for at least 1 hour after installing it.
Using a wooden block and hammer, tap in the spark plug tube to the specified protrusion height.
| Standard protrusion height |
|---|
| 72.9 mm (2.87 in.) |
Note
To avoid tapping in the spark plug tube too far, measure the protrusion height while tapping it.
INSTALL NO. 1 STRAIGHT SCREW PLUG
Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, install 4 new gaskets and the 4 No. 1 straight screw plugs.
INSTALL NO. 2 STRAIGHT SCREW PLUG
Using a 14 mm hexagon wrench, install 2 new gaskets and the 2 No. 2 straight screw plugs.
INSTALL VALVE SPRING SEAT
Install the valve spring seats to the cylinder head.
INSTALL VALVE STEM OIL SEAL
Apply a light coat of engine oil to new valve stem oil seals.
Note
Pay attention when installing the intake and exhaust valve stem oil seals. For example, installing the intake valve stem oil seal into the exhaust side or installing the exhaust valve stem oil seal to the intake side can cause installation problems later.
Tech Tips
The intake valve oil seals are gray and the exhaust valve oil seals are black.
Using SST, push in the oil seals.
Note
Failure to use SST will cause the seal to be damaged or improperly seated.
INSTALL EXHAUST VALVE
Tech Tips
Type A and Type B can be distinguished by the shape of the inner compression spring.
| *A | Type A |
| *B | Type B |
| *1 | No. 1 Valve Rocker Arm Sub-assembly |
| *2 | Valve Spring Retainer |
| *3 | Inner Compression Spring |
| *a | Valve Spring Retainer Diameter |
| *b | No. 1 Valve Rocker Arm Sub-assembly Roller Width |
| Type | No. 1 Valve Rocker Arm Sub-assembly Roller Width | Valve Spring Retainer Diameter | Inner Compression Spring Shape |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 10.7 mm (0.421 in.) | 23.4 mm (0.921 in.) | Straight |
| B | 8.0 mm (0.315 in.) | 18.9 mm (0.744 in.) | Taper |
Apply a sufficient coat of engine oil to the tip area of the exhaust valve shown in the illustration.
Type A:
Install the exhaust valve, inner compression spring and valve spring retainer to the cylinder head.
Note
Install the same parts in the same combination to the original locations.
Using SST, compress the inner compression spring and install the 2 valve spring retainer locks.
Using a plastic hammer, lightly tap the valve stem tip to ensure a proper fit.
Note
Be careful not to damage the retainer.
Type B:
| *1 | Inner Compression Spring |
| *2 | Valve Spring Retainer |
| *3 | Cylinder Head |
| *a | Up |
Install the exhaust valve, inner compression spring and valve spring retainer to the cylinder head.
Note
Install the inner compression spring with its taper side facing upward (towards the valve spring retainer).
Install the same parts in the same combination to the original locations.
Using SST, compress the inner compression spring and install the 2 valve spring retainer locks.
Using a plastic hammer, lightly tap the valve stem tip to ensure a proper fit.
Note
Be careful not to damage the retainer.
