31. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS
32. SET NO. 1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the ”0”
mark on the timing chain cover.

(d) Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylin-
der head.
3. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD
(a) Inspect for flatness. Using a precision straight edge and thickness gauge,
measure the surfaces contacting the cylinder block and
the manifolds for warpage.
Maximum warpage:
Cylinder block side0.15 mm (0.0059 in)
Manifold side0.10 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 chambers,
intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder block surface for
cracks.
If cracked, replace the cylinder head.

guide bushing.
Bushing inside diameter:
7.010 − 7.030 mm (0.2760 − 0.2768 in.)
(b) Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of the valve stem.
Valve stem diameter:
Intake6.970 − 6.985 mm (0.2744 − 0.2750 in.)
Exhaust6.965 − 6.980 mm (0.2742 − 0.2748 in.)
(c) Subtract the valve stem diameter measurement from the
guide bushing inside diameter measurement.
Standard oil clearance:
Intake0.025 − 0.060 mm (0.0010 − 0.0024 in.)
Exhaust0.030 − 0.065 mm (0.0012 − 0.0026 in.)

Exhaust97.4 mm (3.854 in.)
Minimum overall length:
Intake97.9 mm (3.854 in.)
Exhaust97.4 mm (3.835 in.)
If the overall length is less than minimum, replace the valve.
(e) Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear.
If the valve stem tip is worn, resurface the tip with a grinder or
replace the valve.
NOTICE:
Do not grind off more than minimum.
7. INSPECT AND CLEAN VALVE SEATS
(a) Using a 45° carbide cutter, resurface the valve seats.
Remove only enough metal to clean the seats.
(b) Check the valve seating position. Apply a light coat of prussian blue (or white lead) to the
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.
Check that the seat contact is in the middle of the
valve face with these width:
Intake1.2 − 1.6 mm (0.047 − 0.063 in.)
Exhaust1.0 − 1.4 mm (0.039 − 0.055 in.)
