INSPECTION, CLEANING AND REPAIR
OF CYLINDER HEAD COMPONENTS
1. CLEAN TOP SURFACES OF PISTONS AND CYLINDERBLOCK
(a) Turn the crankshaft and bring each piston to top deadcenter (TDC). Using a gasket scraper, remove all the
carbon from the piston top surfaces.
(b) Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the top surfaces of the cylinder block.
(c) Using compressed air, blow carbon and oil from the bolt
holes.
CAUTION: Protect your eyes when using high±pressure
compressed air.
2. CLEAN CYLINDER HEADS
A. Remove gasket material Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the cylinder block surface.
NOTICE: Be careful not to scratch the cylinder block con-
tact surface.
B. Clean combustion chambers Using a wire brush, remove all the carbon from the combus-
tion chambers.
NOTICE: Be careful not to scratch the cylinder block con-
tact surface.
C. Clean valve guide bushings Using a valve guide bushing brush and solvent, clean all the
guide bushings.
