Valve springs - inspection
1.Check free length of each spring = 46.28 mm
2.Check that end coils of each spring are square
to body of spring.Valves and guides - inspection
1.Remove carbon from valves.
2.Examine head of each valve for cracks and
burning and valve seat for pitting or burning,
replace valves as necessary.
3.Check valve seating faces for pitting, if light
pitting cannot be removed during valve
grinding operations, valves may be refaced.
CAUTION: If refacing results in valve head
stand down being exceeded, valves must
be replaced.
4.Check valve seating face angles.
Inlet = 60°00' to 60°30' - included angle =120
°
Exhaust = 45°00' to 45°30' - included angle =
90°
5.Reface or replace valves as necessary.
6.Check each valve stem for wear, measure at
each end and centre of valve stem.
Inlet = 7.96 mm
Exhaust = 7.94 mm
7.Replace any valve with stems that are worn.

3.Lightly lubricate the tool with engine oil.
4.Insert pilot into valve guide from combustion
chamber side of cylinder head until shoulder of
pilot contacts guide.
5.Check that collet is fully inserted into valve
guide and expand collet against the guide
using a suitable tommy bar.
6.Assemble the 45°cutter,MS621(exhaust
valves) and 60°cutter,MS627(inlet valves) to
toolLRT-12-501.
7.Position toolLRT-12-501and appropriate
cutter to valve seat insert to be refaced.
8.Using the Allen key, adjust position of cutter so
that centre of cutter contacts area of seat insert

Valves and springs - refit
1.Lubricate valve stems, guides, spring seats,
valve springs, spring cups and collets with
engine oil.
2.Lubricate new valve stem oil seals with engine
oil and fit to valve guides.
3.Fit spring seat, insert valve into its respective
guide, fit valve spring and spring cup.
4.Compress valve spring using toolLRT-12-034
and fit collets.
5.Remove toolLRT-12-034.
6.Tap spring cup with a soft mallet to ensure that
collets are correctly seated.
7.Repeat above procedures for remaining
valves.Cylinder head gasket selection
CAUTION: New cylinder head gasket
should be same thickness as the original.
If, however, cylinder head, pistons or
crankshaft have been replaced, it will be
necessary to check piston stand proud in order
to determine the correct thickness of gasket.
1.Position a magnetic base DTI to cylinder block
top face adjacent to number 1 cylinder bore.
2.Position stylus of gauge to cylinder block top
face on edge of number 1 cylinder bore; zero
gauge.
3.Rotate crankshaft in a clockwise direction until
numbers 1 and 4 pistons are at TDC.
4.Position stylus of DTI gauge near edge of
piston crown, measure and record number 1
piston stand proud. Measurement must be
taken at front and rear of piston and highest
protrusion figure recorded.
5.Repeat above procedures for remaining
pistons.

OVERHAUL 6.From all of the readings obtained, determine
highest protrusion figure and select the
appropriate cylinder head gasket.
Protrusion 0.50 to 0.60 mm - select gasket with
1 identification hole.
Protrusion 0.61 to 0.70 mm - select gasket with
2 identification holes.
Protrusion 0.71 to 0.80 mm - select gasket with
3 identification holes.
Protrusion 0.81 to 0.90 mm - select gasket with
0 identification holes.
NOTE: Identification holes are located on
the edge of the gasket.
7.Remove DTI.
8.Rotate crankshaft in a clockwise direction until
all pistons are half-way up cylinder bores.Cylinder head - refit
1.Ensure that mating faces of cylinder head and
block are clean and dry and that 2 locating
dowels are fitted in cylinder block.
2.Lubricate threads of new cylinder head bolts
with engine oil.
3.Check that cylinder head bolt holes in cylinder
block are clean and dry.
4.Rotate crankshaft in a clockwise direction until
pistons are half-way up cylinder bores.
5.Position the selected cylinder head gasket on
cylinder block ensuring that word "TOP" is
facing upwards.
6.Using assistance, fit cylinder head ensuring
that it is located on dowels.
