2) If the clearance between valve guide and stem exceeds
the specification, replace guide as follows:
(1) Place cylinder head on ST1 with the combustion
chamber upward so that valve guides enter the holes
in ST1.
(2) Insert ST2 into valve guide and press it down to
remove valve guide.

(4) Before installing new valve guide, make sure that
neither scratches nor damages exist on the inside sur-
face of the valve guide holes in cylinder head.
(5) Put new valve guide, coated with sufficient oil, in
cylinder, and insert ST1 into valve guide. Press in until
the valve guide upper end is flush with the upper sur-
face of ST2.

(6) Check the valve guide protrusion.
Valve guide protrusion: L
12.0—12.4 mm (0.472—0.488 in)
(7) Ream the inside of valve guide with ST. Gently
rotate the reamer clockwise while pressing it lightly into
valve guide, and return it also rotating clockwise. After
reaming, clean valve guide to remove chips.
ST 499767400 VALVE GUIDE REAMER
CAUTION:
Apply engine oil to the reamer when reaming.
If the inner surface of the valve guide is torn, the
edge of the reamer should be slightly ground with an
oil stone.
If the inner surface of the valve guide becomes lus-
trous and the reamer does not chips, use a new reamer
or remedy the reamer.
(8) Recheck the contact condition between valve and
valve seat after replacing valve guide.

4. INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE
1) Inspect the flange and stem of valve, and replace if
damaged, worn, or deformed, or if“H”is less than the
specified limit.
H:
Intake
Standard
1.2 mm (0.047 in)
Limit
0.8 mm (0.031 in)

2) Put a small amount of grinding compound on the seat
surface and lap the valve and seat surface. Install a new
intake valve oil seal after lapping.

5. VALVE SPRINGS
1) Check valve springs for damage, free length, and ten-
sion. Replace valve spring if it is not to the specifications
presented below.
2) To measure the squareness of the valve spring, stand
the spring on a surface plate and measure its deflection at
the top using a try square.

6. INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE OIL SEAL
Replace oil seal with new one, if lip is damaged or spring
out of place, or when the surfaces of intake valve and valve
seat are reconditioned or intake valve guide is replaced.
1) Place cylinder head on ST1.
2) Press in oil seal to the specified dimension indicated in
the figure by using ST2.

CAUTION:
Apply engine oil to oil seal before force-fitting.
Differentiate between intake valve oil seal and
exhaust valve oil seal by noting their difference in
color.
Color of rubber part:
Intake [Black]
Exhaust [Brown]
Color of spring part:
Intake [Black]
Exhaust [Black]

7. VALVE LASH ADJUSTER
1) Check valve lash adjuster visually.
2) Measure outer diameter of valve lash adjuster.
Outer diameter:
29.959—29.975 mm (1.1795—1.1801 in)
G2M0767
3) Measure inner diameter of bush on cylinder head.
Inner diameter:
29.994—30.016 mm (1.1809—1.1817 in)
CAUTION:
If difference between outer diameter of valve lash
adjuster and inner diameter of bush is over the limit,
replace cylinder head.
Standard:
0.019—0.057 mm (0.0007—0.0022 in)
Limit:
0.100 mm (0.0039 in)
