TRUNK=NBBT0025S04Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid bumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. The trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINERNBBT0025S05Noises in the sunroof/headliner area can often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headliner and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
SEATSNBBT0025S06When isolating seat noises it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat
when the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of
the noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holders
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. The rear seat back lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOODNBBT0025S07Some interior noises may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noises include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

VALVE SEATSNBEM0019S10Check valve seats for any evidence of pitting at valve contact
surface, and reseat or replace if it has worn out excessively.
IBefore repairing valve seats, check valve and valve guide
for wear. If they have worn, replace them. Then correct
valve seat.
IUse both hands to cut uniformly.
SEM795A
REPLACING VALVE SEAT FOR SERVICE PARTSNBEM0019S111. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring should not continue
beyond the bottom face of the seat recess in cylinder head. Set
the machine depth stop to ensure this.
2. Ream cylinder head recess for service valve seat.
Oversize [0.5 mm (0.020 in)]:
Intake 38.500 - 38.516 mm (1.5157 - 1.5164 in)
Exhaust 32.700 - 32.716 mm (1.2874 - 1.2880 in)
Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide
center.
This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.
SEM892B
3. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130ÉC (230 to 266ÉF) by soaking
in heated oil.
4. Press fit valve seat until it seats on the bottom.
5. Cut or grind valve seat using suitable tool to the specified
dimensions as shown in SDS (EM-79).
6. After cutting, lap valve seat with abrasive compound.
7. Check valve seating condition.
Seat face angle ªaº: 45É
Contacting width ªWº:
Intake 1.09 - 1.31 mm (0.0429 - 0.0516 in)
Exhaust 1.29 - 1.51 mm (0.0508 - 0.0594 in)
SEM621F
8. Use a depth gauge to measure the distance between the
mounting surface of the cylinder head spring seat and the
valve stem end. If the distance is shorter than specified, repeat
step 5 above to adjust it. If it is longer, replace the valve seat
with a new one.
Valve seat resurface limit ªLº:
Intake 41.07 - 41.67 mm (1.6169 - 1.6405 in)
Exhaust 41.00 - 41.60 mm (1.6142 - 1.6378 in)
