valve face. Lightly press the valve against the seat. Do not
rotate valve.
(c) Check the valve face and seat for the following:
If blue appears 360 ° around the face, the valve is
concentric. If not, replace the valve.
If blue appears 360 ° around the valve seat, the
guide and face are concentric. If not, resurface the
seat.

If not, correct the valve seats as follows: (1) Intake:If the seating is too high on the valve face, use 30 °
and 45 ° cutters to correct the seat.
(2) If the seating is too low on the valve face, use 75° and 45 ° cutters to correct the seat.
(d) Hand−lap the valve and valve seat with an abrasive com- pound.
(e) After hand−lapping, clean the valve and valve seat.
8. INSPECT VALVE SPRINGS
(a) Using a steel square, measure the deviation of the valve spring.
Maximum deviation: 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)

spring.
(b) Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the valve spring.
Free length: 43.94 − 45.06 mm (1.7299 − 1.7740 in.)
If the free length is not as specified, replace the valve spring.
