Valve Contact Width
1. Check the valve contact faces for roughness and
unevenness. Make smooth the valve contact sur-
faces.
2. Measure the valve contact width.
If the measured value exceeds the specified limit, the
valve seat insert must be replaced.
Valve Seat Insert Replacement
Valve Seat Insert Removal
1. Arc weld the entire inside circumference À of the
valve seat insert Á.
2. Allow the valve seat insert to cool for a few minutes.
This will invite contraction and make removal of the
valve seat insert easier.
3. Use a screwdriver  to pry the valve seat insert free.
Take care not to damage the cylinder head Ö .
4. Carefully remove carbon and other foreign material
from the cylinder head insert bore.
Valve Seat Insert Installation
1. Carefully place the attachment À (having a smaller
outside diameter than the valve seat insert) on the
valve seat insert Á .
Note:
The smooth side of the attachment must contact
the valve seat insert.
2. Use a bench press  to gradually apply pressure to
the attachment and press the valve seat insert into
place.
Note:
Do not apply an excessive amount of pressure with
the bench press. Damage to the valve seat insert
will result.
Valve Seat Insert Correction
1. Remove the carbon from the valve seat insert surface.
2. Use a valve cutter (15°, 45°, and 75° blades) to mini-
mize scratches and other rough areas. this will bring
the contact width back to the standard value.
Remove only the scratches and rough areas. Do not
cut away too much. Take care not to cut away un-
blemished areas of the valve seat surface.

sive wear and damage. The push rod must be re-
placed if these conditions are discovered during
inspection.

Push Rod Curvature
1. Lay the push rod on a surface plate.
2. Roll the push rod along the surface plate and measure
the push rod cuvature with a thickness gauge.
If the mesure value exceeds the specified limit, the
push rod must be replaced.
NOTE:
Use an adjustable valve cutter pilot.
Do not allow the valve cutter pilot to wobble inside the
valve guide.
3. Apply abrasive compound to the valve seat insert
surface.
4. Insert the valve into the valve guide.
5. Turn the valve while tapping it to fit the valve seat
insert.
6. Check that the valve contract width is correct.
7. Check that the valve seat insert surface is in contact
with the entire circumference of the valve.

INSPECTION AND REPAIR
Make the necessary adjustments, repairs, and part replacements if excessive wear or damage is discovered
during inspection.
8. Camshaft
9. Tappet
1. Measure the Camshaft Thrust Clearance.
¥ Use a dial indicator to measure the camshaft end
play.
This must be done before removing the camshaft
gear.
If the camshaft end play exceeds the specified
limit, the thrust plate must be replaced.
2. Camshaft Journal Diameter
¥ Use a micrometer to measure each camshaft
journal diameter in two directions (1 and 2). If the
measured value is less than the specified limit,
the camshaft must be replaced.
3. Cam Height
¥ Measure the cam height H with a micrometer. If
the measured value is less than the specified
limit, the camshaft must be replaced.
