If not, correct the valve seats as follows:
(1) 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.

(c) Using a spring tester, measure the tension of the valve
spring at the specified installed length.
Installed tension:
164 − 189 N (16.7 − 19.3 kgf, 36.8 − 42.5 lbf)

shaft.
(b) Using a micrometer, measure the cam lobe height.
Standard cam lobe height:
Intake42.01 − 42.11 mm (1.6539 − 1.6579 in.)
Exhaust40.06 − 40.16 mm (1.5772 − 1.5811 in.)

Intake41.90 mm (1.6496 in.)
Exhaust39.95 mm (1.5728 in.)
If the cam lobe height is less than minimum, replace the cam-
shaft.
(c) Using a micrometer, measure the journal diameter.
Journal diameter:
26.959 − 26.975 mm (1.0614 − 1.0620 in.)
If the journal diameter is not as specified, check the oil clear-
ance.

REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addi-
tion, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Care should be taken, therefore, when changing en-
gine oil to minimize the frequency and length of time
your skin is exposed to used engine oil. Protective
clothing and gloves that cannot be penetrated by oil
should be worn. The skin should be thoroughly
washed with soap and water, or use water−less hand
cleaner, to remove any used engine oil. Do not use
gasoline, thinners, or solvents.
In order to preserve the environment, used oil and
used oil filters must be disposed of only at desig-
nated disposal sites.
1. DRAIN ENGINE OIL
(a) Remove the oil filler cap.
(b) Remove the oil drain plug, and drain the oil into a contain-
er.
2. REPLACE OIL FILTER
(a) Using SST, remove the oil filter.
SST 09228−06501
(b) Check and clean the oil filter installation surface.
(c) Lubricate the filter rubber gasket with clean engine oil.
(d) Lightly tighten the oil filter by hand until the rubber gasket
contacts the seat of the filter mounting.

REASSEMBLY
NOTICE:
When working with FIPG material, you must observe the follow-
ing items.
Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old
FIPG material from the gasket surfaces.
Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the loose
material.
Clean both sealing surfaces with a non−residue solvent.
Apply FIPG in an approx. 1 mm (0.04 in.) wide bead along
the sealing surface.
Parts must be assembled within 10 minutes of application.
Otherwise, the FIPG material must be removed and reap-
plied.
HINT:
Coat all of the sliding and rotating surfaces with gear oil before
reassembly.

(2) Using SST and a spring tension gauge, measure
the driven pinion preload.
SST 09326−20011
HINT:
Turn the driven pinion right and left 2 or 3 times to allow the
bearing to settle.
Preload (at starting):
New bearing
17.7 − 28.4 N (1.8 − 2.9 kgf, 4.0 − 6.4 lbf)
Reused bearing
4.9 − 8.8 N (0.9 − 1.4 kgf, 1.1 − 2.0 lbf)
If the preload exceeds than the specification, re-
place the bearing spacer.
If the preload is less than the specification, retighten
the nut 5−10° gradually a time until the specified
preload is reached.
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retighten-
ing the nut, replace the bearing spacer and repeat
the preload procedure. Do not back off the pinion
nut to reduce the preload.
Torque: 214 N·m (2,184 kgf·cm, 158 ft·lbf) or less
HINT:
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 50 cm (19.69
in.).
