Valve Installation'alve Inslallauon -
When installing valves in the cylinder head, coat
valve stems with oil belore inserting them into valve
guides, and make sure valves move up and down
smoothly.
When valves and springs are in place, lightly tap the
end of each valve stem two or three times to ensure
proper seating of valves and valve keepers (use plas
tic mallet).
NOTE: Tap the valve stem only along lts axrs so you
do not bend the stem.

Measure the guide to stem clearance with a dial indica-
tor while rocking the stem in the direction of normal
thrust {wobble method).
lntake Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance:
Standard {Newlr 0.04 - 0.10 mm
10.002 - 0.004 in)
Service Limit: 0.16 mm {0.005 in)
Exhaust Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance:
Standard {New}: 0.10 - 0.16 mm
(0.004 - 0.006 inl
Service Limit: 0.22 mm (0.009 in)
Valve extended 10 mm out from seat
lf measurement exceeds the service limit, recheck
usrng a new valve.
lf measurement is now within the service limit,
reassemble using a new valve.
lf measurement still exceeds limit, recheck using
alternate method below, then replace valve and
guide, if necessary.
NOTEr An alternate method of checking guide to stem
clearance is to subtract the O.D. of the valve stem, mea-
sured with a micrometer, from the l.D. o{ the valve
guide, measured with an inside micrometer or ball
ga uge.
Take the measurements in three places along the valve
stem and three places inside the valve guide.
The diiference between the largest guide measurement
and the smallest stem measurement should not exceed
the service limit
lntake Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance:
Standard (Newl: 0.02 - 0.05 mm
10.001-{.002 inl
Service Limit: 0,08 mm (0.003 in)
Exhaust Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance:
Standard (New): 0.05 - 0.08 mm
{0.002 - 0.003 in)
Service Limit: 0.11 mm {0.004 in)\

ChargingLeak Test
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner refrig6rant and
lubricant vapol or mist can irritate eyes. nose and
throat. Avoid broating the air conditione. relrigerant
and lubricant vapor o; mist.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
compressed air.
@ some mixtures of air and R-1348 have
been shown to be combustible at €levat€d pre3sures
and can rosult in fire or explosion causing iniury or
property damage. Never use compressed air to pressure
test R-134a s€rvics oquipment or vehicle air conditioner
Systems.
Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufac-
rures.
Connect a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System to the vehicle, as shown in the pre-
vious column, following the equipment manufactur-
er's instructions.
NOTE: Be sure to install the same amount of new
refrigerant oil back into the A/C system before
charging.
Open high pressure valve to charge the system to
the specified capacity, then close the supply valve,
and remove the charging system couplers.
R€frigerani capacity: 700 1o g 124.7 llroz)
Check the system for leaks using a R-134a refriger-
ant leak detector with an accuracy of 14 g (0.5 oz)
per year or better.
lf you find leaks that require the system to be
opened (to repair or replace houses. fittings, etc.),
recover the system according to the Recover
Procedure on page 22-22.
After checking and repairing leaks, the system must
be evacuated (see System Evacuation on page 22-
38).
JUse only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner r€frigsrant and
lubricant vapol or mist can irritate eyos, nose and
throat. Avoid broathing the air conditioner reftigerant
and lubricant vapor or mist.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service. Additional health and
safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant
and lubricant manufactures.
