VALVE SEAT
(1) Assemble the valve, then measure the valve stem projec-
tion between the end of the valve stem and the spring
seating surface. If the measurement exceeds the spe cified
limit, replace the valve seat.
Standard value: 49.30 mm (1.9409 in.)
Limit: 49.80 mm (1.9606 in.)
VALVE SEAT RECONDITIONING PROCEDURE
(1) Before correcting the valve seat, check for cle arance
between the valve guide and valve and, if necessary ,
replace the valve guide.
(2) Using the seat grinder, correct to obtain the s pecified
seat width and angle.
(3) After correcting the valve seat, lap the valve and valve
seat using lapping compound. Then, check the valve
stem projection (refer to VALVE SEAT in INSPECTION) .
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
(1) Cut the valve seat to be replaced form the inside to thin
the wall thickness. Then, remove the valve seat.

PISTON RING (1) Check the piston ring for
excessive and
breakage and replace if defects. If the’ piston
has been replaced with ,a new one, the piston rings must
also be replaced with, new. ones.
(2) Check for the clearance between the piston ring and
ring groove. If the limit is exceeded, replace the ring
or piston, or both.
Standard value:

Limit: 0.1 mm in.)
(3) Install the piston ring into the cylinder bore. Force it
down with a piston, its crown being in contact with the
