Cylinder HeadValve Seats
Warpage
NOTE: lf the camshaft-to-holder oil clearances (see
page 6-36) are not within specification, the cylinder head
cannot be resurfaced.
lf the camshaft-to-holder oil clearances are within sDeci,
fications, check the cylinder head lor warpage.
lf warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in), cylin-
der head resurfacing is not required.
lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in) and
0.2 mm {0.008 in), resurface the cylinder head.
Maximum resurface limit is 0,2 mm (0.008 in)
based on a height of 93 mm (3.66 in).
Measure along edges, and three ways across center.
Cylinder Head Height:

Reconditioning
'1. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using a
valve seat cutter.
NOTE: lf the guides are worn (see page 6-39).
replace them (see page 6-41) belore cutting the
valve seats.

Carefully cut a 45'seat, removing only enough
material to ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30. cutter
and the lower edge of the seat with the 60' cutter.
Check the width of the seat and adjust accordingly.
Make one more very light pass with the 45" cutter to
remove any possible burrs caused by the other cut-
Iers.
Valve Seat Width:
Standard (N€w):
Intake: 0.85 - 1.15 mm 10.033 - 0.045 in)
Exhaust: 1.25 - 1.55 mm {0.049 - 0.061 in}
Sorvice Limit:
Intake: 1.6 mm (0.063 inl
Exhausl: 2.0 mm (0.079 in)
Seat Width
5. After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve
seatingr Apply Prussian Blue compound to the
valve face, and insert the valve in its original loca-
tion in the head, then liit and snap it closed against
the seat several times.

The actual valve seating surface. as shown by the
blue comDound, should be centered on the seat.
. lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you
must make a second cut with the 60'cutter to
move it down, then one more cut with the 45'
cutter to restore seat width,
. lf it is too low (closer to the vslve edge), you
must make a second cut with the 30" cutter to
move it uD, then one more cut with the 45'cutter
to restore seat width.
NOTE: The final cut should always be made with
the 45" cutter.
lnsert the intake and exhaust valves in the head and
measure the valve stem installed height.

lf the valve stem installed height is over the service
limit. reDlace the valve and recheck. lf its still over
the service limit, replace the cylinder head; the
valve seat in the head is too deep.

Select the proper replacement guides. and chill them
in the freezer section of a refrigerator for about an
nour.
Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder
head to 300"F (150'C). Monitor the temperature with
a cooking thermometer.
CAUTION:
. Do not use a torch; it may warp the head.
Do not got the head hottel than 300"F (150"C1;
excessive heat may loosen thg valve seats.
To avoid burns. use heayy gloves whon handling
the heated cylinder h€ad.

NOTE: For new valve guides only.
1. Coat both the reamer and valve guide with cufting
orl.
2. Rotate the reamer clockwise the full length of the
valve guide bore.
3. Continue to rotate the reamer clockwise while
removing it from the bore.
4. Thoroughly wash the guide in detergent and water
to remove any cutting residue.
5. Check the clearance with a valve (see page 6-391.
Verify that the valve slides in the valve guide with-
out exerting Pressure.

a crisscross pattern in two or three steps, beginning
with the inner nut {see pages 9-6 and g-7).
. Always use a new exhaust manifold gasket.
Install the exhaust manifold bracket. lnstall the

the outside edges.
NOTE:
. Before installing the head cover gasket, thor-
oughly clean the seal and the groove.
. When installing, make sure the head cover gas-
ket is seated securely in the corners of the
recesses wath no gap.

Apply liquid gasket to the head cover gasket at the
four corners of the recesses.
NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Pan No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718- 0003.
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry
before applying liquid gasket.
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing old
residue.
. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.
