1987 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA roof

l Flatness of gasketed surface:
Using a straightedge and thickness gauge,
check surface at a total of 6 locations. If the
limit stated below,is exceeded, correct
gasketed surface with a surface plate and
abrasive paper of about # 400 (Waterproof
silicon carbide abrasive paper): place paper on
and over surface plate, and rub gasketed
surface against paper to grind off high spots.
Should this fail to reduce thickness gauge
readings to within the limit, replace cylinder
head.
Leakage of combustion gases from this
gasketed joint is often due to a warped
gasketed surface;such leakage results in
reduced power output.
l Distortion of manifold seating faces:
Check seating faces of cylinder head for
manifolds, using a straightedge and thickness
gauge, in order to determine whether these
faces should be corrected or cylinder head
replaced.

When it is hard to raise and lower the door glass,
the glass may be slanting towards the door sash.
If this is the case, loosen the screws fastening the
door regulator roller holder, move the holder up
and down so that the glass and sash are brought
in parallel.
