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.

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.

INSTALLATION
NOTE:
All parts to be installed must be perfectly clean.
Be sure to oil crankshaft journals, journal bearings, thrust
bearings, crankpins, connecting rod bearings, pistons, pis-
ton rings and cylinder bores.
Journal bearings, bearing caps, connecting rods, rod bear-
ings, rod bearing caps, pistons and piston rings are in com-
bination sets. Do not disturb combination and try to see that
each part goes back to where it came from, when installing.
1) Fit main bearings to cylinder block (1).
Among two halves of main bearing, one halt has oil groove (3).
Install this half with oil groove to cylinder block, and another half
without oil groove to bearing cap.
Make sure that two halves are painted in the same color.
2) Fit thrust bearings (1) to cylinder block between No.2 and No.3
cylinders. Face oil groove (2) sides to crank webs.
3) Put crankshaft on cylinder block.
4) Fit bearing caps sequentially in ascending order, 1, 2, 3 and 4,
starting from pulley side. Be sure to point arrow mark (2) (on
each cap) to crankshaft pulley side (1).
Gradual and uniform tightening is important for bearing cap
bolts. Make sure that four caps become tight equally and pro-
gressively till specified torque is attained.
Tightening Torque
(a): 53 N
.m (5.3 kg-m, 38.5 lb-ft)
NOTE:
After tightening cap bolts, check to be sure that crankshaft
rotates smoothly when turned by hand.
