REASSEMBLY
HINT:
Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
Before installing the parts, apply new engine oil to all slid-
ing and rotating surfaces.
Replace all gaskets and oil seals with new ones.
1. INSTALL SPARK PLUG TUBES
HINT:
When using a new cylinder head, spark plug tubes must be
installed.
(a) Mark the standard position away from the edge, onto the spark plug tube.
Standard protrusion: 45.5 mm (1.791 in.)
(b) Apply adhesive to the spark plug tube hole of the cylinder
head.
Sealant:
Part No. 08833−00070, Adhesive 1324, THREE BOND
1324 or equivalent
(c) Using a press, press in a new spark plug tube until there is 45.5 mm (1.791 in.) protruding from the camshaft bear-
ing cap installation surface of the cylinder head.
NOTICE:
Avoid pressing a new spark plug tube in too far by measur-
ing the amount of protrusion while pressing.
2. INSTALL TVV
(a) Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads of the TVV. Adhesive:
Part No.08833 −00080, THREE BOND 1344, LOCTITE
242 or equivalent

6. INSTALL CHAIN TENSIONER
(a) Place a new gasket so that the front mark is toward the
front side.
(b) Push the tensioner by hand until it touches the head installation surface, then install the 2 nuts.
(c) Tighten the 2 nuts. Torque: 21 N·m (210 kgf·cm, 15 ft·lbf)
7. CHECK VALVE TIMING
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the timing mark ”0” of the timing chain cover.
NOTICE:
Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.
(b) Check that the timing marks (1 and 2 dots) of the camshaft
drive and driven gears are in straight line on the cylinder
head surface as shown in the illustration.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360° ) and align the
marks as above.
8. CHECK AND ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE (See page
EM−4)
Turn the camshaft and position the cam lobe upward and check
and adjust the valve clearance.
Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake0.15 − 0.25 mm (0.006 − 0.010 in.)
Exhaust0.25 − 0.35 mm (0.010 − 0.041 in.)

NOTICE:
”Cold” and ”Hot” in the following sentences express the
temperature of the coils themselves. ”Cold” is from −10° C
(14 °F) to 50° C (122°F) and ”Hot” is from 50 °C (122° F) to
