1) Inspect the flange and stem of valve, and replace if
damaged, worn, or deformed, or if“H”is less than the
specified limit.

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)

8. VALVE LIFTER
1) Check valve lifter for scratch or uneven wear.
2) Measure outer diameter of valve lifter.
Outer diameter:
32.959—32.975 mm (1.2976—1.2982 in)
G2M0767
3) Measure inner diameter of valve lifter mating part on
cylinder head.
Inner diameter:
32.994—33.016 mm (1.2990—1.2998 in)
CAUTION:
If difference between outer diameter of valve lifter and
inner diameter of valve lifter mating part is over the
limit, replace cylinder head.
Standard:
0.019—0.057 mm (0.0007—0.0022 in)
