Check clearance by using gaging plastic.
The procedure is as follows.
1) Clean housing and camshaft journals.
2) Install camshaft to cylinder head.
3) Place a piece of gaging plastic the full width of journal of cam-
shaft (parallel to camshaft).
4) Install camshaft housing referring to “INSTALLATION” of the fol-
lowing page.
5) Tighten camshaft housing bolts in such order as indicated in fig-
ure a little at a time till they are tightened to specified torque.

NOTE:
Do not rotate camshaft while gaging plastic is installed.
6) Remove housing and using scale (2) on gaging plastic (1) enve-
lope, measure gaging plastic width at its widest point.

INSPECTION
Valve Guides
Using a micrometer and bore gauge, take diameter readings on
valve stems and guides to check stem-to-guide clearance.
Be sure to take reading at more than one place along the length of
each stem and guide.
If clearance exceeds limit, replace valve and valve guide.

with a dial gauge instead.
Move stem end in directions (1) and (2) to measure end deflection.
If deflection exceeds its limit, replace valve stem and valve guide.

and, as necessary, replace it.
Measure thickness “a” of valve head. If measured thickness ex-
ceeds limit, replace valve.

Valve seat repair:
A valve seat (2) not producing a uniform contact with its valve or
showing width of seating contact that is out of specified range
must be repaired by regrinding or by cutting and regrinding and
finished by lapping.
1) EXHAUST VALVE SEAT: Use valve seat cutters (1) to make
two cuts as illustrated in figure. Two cutters must be used: the
first for making 15 angle, and the second for making 45
angle. The second cut must be made to produce desired seat
width.
Seat width for exhaust valve seat:
1.1 – 1.3 mm (0.0433 – 0.0512 in.)
2) INTAKE VALVE SEAT: Cutting sequence is the same as for ex-
haust valve seats.
Seat width for intake valve seat:
1.1 – 1.3 mm (0.0433 – 0.0512 in.)
3) VALVE LAPPING: Lap valve on seat in two steps, first with
coarse size lapping compound applied to face and the second
with fine-size compound, each time using valve lapper accord-
ing to usual lapping method.
Cylinder Head
Remove all carbon from combustion chambers.
NOTE:
Do not use any sharp-edged tool to scrape off carbon. Be
careful not to scuff or nick metal surfaces when decarbon-
ing. The same applies to valves and valve seats, too.
Check cylinder head for cracks in intake and exhaust ports, com-
bustion chambers, and head surface.

Flatness of gasketed surface:
Using a straightedge and thickness gauge, check surface at a to-
tal of 6 locations. If distortion limit, given below, is exceeded, cor-
rect gasketed surface with a surface plate and abrasive paper of
about #400 (Waterproof silicon carbide abrasive paper): place
paper on and over surface plate, and rub gasketed surface
against paper to grind off high spots. Should this fail to reduce
thickness gauge readings to within limit, replace cylinder head.
Leakage of combustion gases from this gasketed joint is often
due to warped gasketed surface: such leakage results in reduced
power output.
Limit of distortion: 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)
Distortion of manifold seating faces:
Check seating faces of cylinder head for manifolds, using a
straightedge and thickness gauge, in order to determine whether
these faces should be corrected or cylinder head replaced.
Limit of distortion: 0.10 mm (0.004 in.)

Valve Springs
Referring to data given below, check to be sure that each spring
is in sound condition, free of any evidence of breakage or weak-
ening. Remember, weakened valve springs can cause chatter,
not to mention possibility of reducing power output due to gas
leakage caused by decreased seating pressure.

Spring squareness:

ness in terms of clearance between end of valve spring and
square. Valve springs found to exhibit a larger clearance than limit
given below must be replaced.
Valve spring squareness limit: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)
