Fuse
Replacement
1. When replacing a fuse, be sure to replace it with one of
specified capacity.
If a fuse again fails after it has been replaced, the circuit
probably has a short circuit and the wiring should be
checked.
2. Be sure the negative battery terminal is disconnected be-
fore replacing a main fuse (80A).
3. When replacing a pullout fuse, use the fuse puller supplied
in the fuse box cover.

Valve Seat
1, Inspect the contact surface of each valve seat and valve
face for the following:
(1) Roughness.
(2) Damage.
2. If necessary, resurface the valve seat with a 45O valve seat
cutter and/or resurface the valve face.
3. Apply a thin coat of Prussian blue to the valve face.
4. Inspect the valve seating by pressing the valve against the
seat.
(1) If blue does not appear 360° around the valve face, re-
place the valve.
(2) If blue does not appear 360° around the valve seat,
resurface the seat
5. Measure the seat contact width.

7. Seat the valve to the valve seat with lapping compound.
8. Inspect the sinking of the valve seat.
Measure the protruding length (dimension L) of the valve
stem.
