Reconditioning
1. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using a
valve seat cutter.
NOTE: lf guides are worn (see page 6-24), replace
them (see page 6-251 before cutting the valve seats,
2. Carefully cut a 45' seat, removing only enough
material to ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
3. Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30o cutter
and the lower edge of the seat with the 60' cutter.
Check width of seat and adjust accordingly.
4. Make one more very light pass with the 45" cutter to
remove any possible burrs caused by the other cut-
ters.
Valvo Seat Width llntake and Exhaustl:
Standard: 1.25 - 1.55 mm {0.049 - 0.061 inl
Servics Limit:2.0 mm 10.08 inl
SEATWIDTH
After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve
seating: Apply Prussian Blue compound to the valve
face, and insert valve in original location in the
head, then lift it and snap it closed against the seat
severaltimes.

7.
The actual valve seating surface, as shown by the
blue compound, should be centered on the seat.
. lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you
must make a second cut with the 60" cutter to
move it down, then one more cut with the 45'
cutter to restore seat width.
. lf it is too low (closer to the valve edgel, you
must make a second cut with the 30' cutter to
move it up, then one more cut with the 45" cutter
to restore seat width.
NOTE: The final cut should always be made with
the 45' cutter.
Insert intake and exhaust valves in the head and
measure valve stem installed height
Intako Valve Stem Install€d Height:
Standard (New): /$.765 - '11.235 mm
{1.604It - 1.6234 in}

11.6a37 - 1.1022 in1
Service Limit /B.il85 mm (1.7120 inl
lf valve stem installed height is over the service
limit, reDlace valve and recheck. lf still over the ser-
vice limit, replace cylinder head; the valve seat in
the head is too deeo.

Gylinder Head
Installation
Installthe cylinder head in the reverse order of removal:
NOTE:
. Always use a new head gasket.
. Cylinder head and cylinder block surface must be
ctean.
. "UP" mark on the timing belt pulleys should be at the
top.
. Do not use the middle cover and lower cover for stor-
ing items disassembled.
. Clean the middle cover and lower cover before instal-
lation.
. Replace the washer when damaged or deteriorated.'1. Cylinder head dowel pins and the oil control orifice
must be aligned,
NOTE:
. When handling a metal gasket, care should be
taken not to told it or damage the contact surface
of the gasket.
. Clean the oil control orifice when installing.

N.m {3.0 kgf.m, 22 lbl.ltJ; in the final step, tighten in
the same sequence to 83 N.m (8.5 kgf.m, 61 lbf'ft).
NOTE:
. Apply engine oil to the cylinder head bolts and
the washers.
. Use the longer bolts at positions No. 1 and No. 2
as shown.

NOTE: lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances (see page 6-
21) are not within specitication, the head cannot be
resurfaced.
lf camshaft'to-holder oil clearances are within specifica-
tions, check the head for warpage.
lf warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in) cylinder
head resurtacing is not required.
lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in) and 0.2 mm
(0.008 in), resurface cylinder head.
Maximum resurface limit is 0.2 mm (0.008 in) based
on a height of 132.0 mm (5.20 in).
Measure along edges, and 3 ways across center.

9. Apply liquid gasket to the head mating surtaces of
the No. 1 and No. 6 camshaft holders, then install
them, along with No. 2,3, 4, and 5.
NOTE:
o "1" or "E" marks are stamoed on the camshaft
holders.
. Do not apply oil to the holder mating surface of
camshaft seals.
. Apply liquid gasket to the shaded areas.
. The arrows marked on the camshatt holders
should point to the timing belt.

10. Tighten the camshaft holders temporarily.
. Make sure that the rocker arms are properly
positioned on the valve stems.

camshaft first, th€n work it into the groove around
the outside edges,
NOTE:
. Before installing the rubber seal, thoroughly
clean the seal and the groove.
. When installing, make sure the seal is seated
securely in the corners of the recass€s with no
gap.

17.Apply liquid gask€t to the rubber seal at the eight
corners of the recesses.
NOTE:
. Use liquid gaskst, Part No. 08718 - 0001.
. Check that the mating surfaces are cl€an and dry
before applying liquid gasket.
. Do not install the parts if 20 minutes or mor6
havs elapsod sinco applying liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing old
reaidue.
. After assembly, wait at lsast 20 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.

18. When installing the cylinder head cover, hold the
rubber seal in the groove by placing your fingers on
the camshaft contacting surfaces (top of the semi-
circles).
Once the cvlinder head cover is on the cylinder
head, slide the cover slightly back and forth to seat
the rubber seal.
NOTE:
. Before installing the cylinder head cover, clean
the cylinder head contacting surfaces using a
shop towel.
. Do not touch the pans where liquid gasket was
