CYLINDER HEAD GASKET INSTALLATION


  1. INSPECT NO. 1 VALVE ROCKER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A0040CF

      Turn the roller by hand to check that it turns smoothly.

      If the roller does not turn smoothly, replace the No. 1 valve rocker arm sub-assembly.

  2. INSPECT VALVE LASH ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY

    Note


    • Keep the valve lash adjuster assembly free from dirt and foreign matter.

    • Only use clean engine oil.


    1. Place the lash adjuster into a container filled with new engine oil.

      *2 Check Ball
      *3 Low Pressure Chamber
      *4 High Pressure Chamber
      *a CORRECT
      *b INCORRECT
      *c Taper Part

      Insert the tip of SST into the lash adjuster plunger and use the tip to press down on the check ball inside the plunger.

      SST
      09276-75010

    3. Squeeze SST and the valve lash adjuster together to move the plunger up and down 5 to 6 times.

    4. Check the movement of the plunger and bleed the air.

      OK
      Plunger moves up and down.

      Note

      When bleeding air from the high pressure chamber, make sure that the tip of SST is actually pressing the check ball as shown in the illustration. If the check ball is not pressed, air bleeding is not possible.

    5. After bleeding the air, remove SST. Then try to quickly and firmly press the plunger with your fingers.

      OK
      Plunger is very difficult to move.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the valve lash adjuster assembly.

  3. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SET BOLT

      *a Measurement Length
      *b Measurement Area
      *c Distance

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the length of the cylinder head set bolt from the seat to the end.

      Standard length
      146.8 to 148.2 mm (5.78 to 5.83 in.)
      Maximum length
      149.2 mm (5.87 in.)

      Tech Tips


      • If the length is greater than the maximum, replace the bolt with a new one. Failure to do so may lead to engine damage.

      • If there is any thread deformation, replace the bolt with a new one.

    2. Using a vernier caliper, measure the diameter of the threaded portion of the bolt at its thinnest point.

      Tech Tips

      Use a straightedge to determine the thinnest point of the threaded portion of the bolt.

      Measurement point
      115 mm (4.53 in.)
      Standard diameter
      9.77 to 9.96 mm (0.385 to 0.392 in.)
      Minimum diameter
      9.4 mm (0.370 in.)

      Tech Tips


      • If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the cylinder head set bolt with a new one. Failure to do so may lead to engine damage.

      • If there is any thread deformation, replace the cylinder head set bolt with a new one.

      Tech Tips

      If a visual check reveals no excessively thin areas, check the center of the bolt (refer to illustration) and find the area that has the smallest diameter.
