contact again. If abnormal indications still persist, replace
valve seat.

dimensions as shown in SDS (EM-164).
CAUTION:
Use the valve seat cutter properly. Securely gripping the cut-
ter handle with both hands, press the cutter down onto the
entire circumference of the contacting surface and finish cut-
ting at one time. Improper pressing of the cutter or cutting in
several steps may result in staged surface on the valve seat.
6. After cutting, lap valve seat with abrasive compound.
7. Check valve seating condition. Refer to EM-126, ªValve Seatsº.
JEM253G
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.

AssemblyNJEM00661. Install valve oil seal.
+Using valve oil seal drift (SST), install so that the dimension
shown in the figure is obtained. The dimension in the figure
shows the dimension before the valve spring seat is installed.

location. Identify by the rubber color.
For intake: Black

+Always use new valve oil seal.
+Before installing valve oil seal, install valve spring seat.
2. Install other valve component parts. Refer to ªDisassemblyº,
EM-121.
+For uneven pitch type models only, install valve spring
with its narrow pitch side toward cylinder head side (paint
mark).
+After installing valve collets, tap valve stem tip with plastic
hammer to assure a proper fit.

When the following parts have been repaired/replaced:
+With cylinder block upper surface and/or crankshaft pin journal
ground
+With cylinder block, pistons, connecting rods, and/or crank-
shaft replaced
1. Set piston at a point close to TDC.
2. Set a dial gauge at the location as shown in the figure. Turn-
ing crankshaft gradually, set the gauge scale to ª0º where the
piston protrusion is maximized.
3. Move the dial gauge stand so that the tip of dial gauge can
contact the cylinder block. Read the difference.
4. Measure at two locations per cylinder, that is eight locations for
four cylinders. Select gasket based on the maximum protru-
sion of eight measurements.
5. Measure front and rear at two locations for each cylinder and
calculate the mean value.
Among the four measured points for each cylinder, determine
the maximum protrusion value as the engine's piston protru-
sion value, and select and install a head gasket according to
the value.
