ENGVALVES AND VALVE SPRINGS
Measurement steps:
lApply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) b
to the valve face.
lInstall the valve into the cylinder head.
lPress the valve through the valve guide
and onto the valve seat to make a clear
pattern.
lMeasure the valve seat width. Where the
valve seat and valve face made contact,
blueing will have been removed.
lIf the valve seat is too wide, too narrow, or
the seat is not centered, the valve seat
must be refaced.
9. Lap:
lValve face
lValve seat
NOTE:
After refacing the valve seat or replacing the
valve and valve guide, the valve seat and
valve face should be lapped.
Lapping steps:
lApply a coarse lapping compound to the
valve face.
lApply molybdenum disulfide oil to the
valve stem.
lInstall the valve into the cylinder head.
lTurn the valve until the valve face and
valve seat are evenly polished, then clean
off all of the compound.
lApply a fine lapping compound to the
valve face and repeat the above steps.
CAUTION:
Do not let the compound enter the gap
between the valve stem and the guide.
NOTE:
For best lapping results, lightly tap the valve
seat while rotating the valve back and forth
between your hands.

ENGVALVES AND VALVE SPRINGS
lApply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) to
the valve face.
lInstall the valve into the cylinder head.
lPress the valve through the valve guide
and onto the valve seat to make a clear
pattern.
lMeasure the valve seat width again. If the
valve seat width is out of specification,
reface and relap the valve seat.
NOTE:
After every lapping operation be sure to
clean off all of the compound from the valve
face and valve seat.
Valve spring
1. Measure:
lValve spring free length a
Out of specification ® Replace.
2. Measure:
lCompressed spring force a
Out of specification ® Replace.
bInstalled length
3. Measure:
lSpring tilt a
Out of specification ® Replace.
Free length (valve spring):
Intake:
39.42 mm (1.55 in)
: 37.5 mm (1.48 in)
Exhaust:
41.80 mm (1.65 in)
: 39.8 mm (1.57 in)
Compressed spring force:
Intake:
12.6 ~ 13.8 kg at 32.87 mm
(27.78 ~ 30.42 lb at 1.29 in)
Exhaust:
12.6 ~ 14.6 kg at 35.35 mm
(27.78 ~ 32.19 lb at 1.39 in)
Spring tilt limit:
Intake:
2.5˚/1.7 mm (0.067 in)
Exhaust:
2.5˚/1.8 mm (0.071 in)

ENGCYLINDER AND PISTON
Piston pin
1. Inspect:
lPiston pin
Blue discoloration/grooves ®
Replace, then inspect the lubrication
system.
2. Measure:
lPiston pin-to-piston clearance
Measurement steps:
lMeasure the outside diameter (piston pin)
a.
If out of specification, replace the piston
pin
Outside diameter (piston pin):
18.991 ~ 19.000 mm
(0.7477 ~ 0.7480 in)
lMeasure the inside diameter (piston) b.
Inside diameter (piston):
19.004 ~ 19.015 mm
(0.7482 ~ 0.7486 in)
lCalculate the piston pin-to-piston clear-
ance with the following formula.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance =
Inside diameter (piston) b –
Outside diameter (piston pin) a
lIf out of specification, replace the piston.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance:
0.009 ~ 0.025 mm
(0.00035 ~ 0.00098 in)
: 0.07 mm (0.003 in)
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Piston
1. Install:
lPiston rings
Onto the piston.
NOTE:
lBe sure to install the piston rings so that the
manufacturer’s marks or numbers are
located on the upper side of the rings.
lLubricate the piston and piston rings liberally
with engine oil.
