CYLINDER HEAD COMPONENTS
INSPECTION AND REPAIR
1. CLEAN TOP SURFACES OF PISTONS AND CYLINDER
BLOCK
(a) Turn the crankshaft, and bring each piston to top dead center
(TDC). Using a gasket scraper, remove all the carbon from
the piston top surface. EG±50
± ENGINEENGINE MECHANICAL
Page 1365 of 2543
(b) Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from
the top surface of the cylinder block.
(c) Using compressed air, blow carbon and oil from the bolt
holes.
CAUTION: Protect your eyes when using high pressure com-
pressed air.
2. CLEAN CYLINDER HEAD
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 contact
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 contact
surface.
C. Clean valve guide bushings
Using a valve guide bushing brush and solvent, clean all the
guide bushings.
D. Clean cylinder head
Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylinder
head.

3. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD
A. Inspect for flatness
Using precision straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the
surfaces contacting the cylinder block, intake and exhaust
manifolds for warpage.
Maximum warpage:
0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
If warpage is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder
head.
B. Inspect for cracks
Using a dye penetrant, check the combustion chamber, in-
take ports, exhaust ports and cylinder block surface for
cracks.
If cracked, replace the cylinder head.
4. CLEAN VALVES
(a) Using a gasket scraper, chip off any carbon from the valve
head.
(b) Using a wire brush, throughly clean the valve.
5. INSPECT VALVE STEMS AND GUIDE BUSHINGS
(a) Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the
guide bushing.
Bushing inside diameter:
6.010±6.030 mm (0.2366±0.2374 in.)
