INSPECTION
1. CLEAN TOP SURFACES OF PISTONS AND CYL-
INDER BLOCK
(a) Turn the crankshaft, and bring each piston to top dead
center (TDC). Using a gasket scraper, remove all the car-
bon from the piston top surface.
(b) Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material
from the cylinder block surface.
(c) Using compressed air, blow carbon and oil from the bolt
holes.
CAUTION:
Protect your eyes when using high pressure compressed
air.
2. REMOVE GASKET MATERIAL
Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the
cylinder block contact surface.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to scratch the cylinder block contact sur-
face.
3. CLEAN COMBUSTION CHAMBERS
Using a wire brush, remove all the carbon from the combustion
chambers.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to scratch the cylinder block contact sur-
face.
4. CLEAN CYLINDER HEADS
Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylinder
head.

5. CLEAN VALVE GUIDE BUSHINGS
Using a valve guide bushing brush and solvent, clean all the
guide bushings.
6. INSPECT FOR FLATNESS
Using a precision straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the
surfaces contacting the cylinder block and the manifolds for
warpage.
Maximum warpage: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
If warpage is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder head.
7. INSPECT FOR CRACKS
Using a dye penetrant, check the combustion chamber, intake
ports, exhaust ports and cylinder block contact surface for
cracks.
If cracked, replace the cylinder head.
8. CLEAN VALVES
(a) Using a gasket scraper, chip off any carbon from the valve
head.
(b) Using a wire brush, thoroughly clean the valve.

9. INSPECT VALVE STEMS AND GUIDE BUSHINGS
(a) Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the
guide bushing.
Bushing inside diameter:
5.510 - 5.530 mm (0.2169 - 0.2177 in.)
(b) Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of the valve
stem.
Valve stem diameter:
Intake5.470 - 5.485 mm (0.2154 - 0.2159 in.)
Exhaust5.465 - 5.480 mm (0.2152 - 0.2157 in.)
(c) Subtract the valve stem diameter measurement from the
guide bushing guide bushing inside diameter measure-
ment.
Standard oil clearance:
Intake0.025 - 0.060 mm (0.0010 - 0.0024 in.)
Exhaust0.030 - 0.065 mm (0.0012 - 0.0026 in.)
Maximum oil clearance:
Intake0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
Exhaust0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the valve and
guide bushing.
10. INSPECT AND GRIND VALVES
(a) Grind the valve enough to remove pits and carbon.
(b) Check that the valve is ground to the correct valve face
angle.
Valve face angle: 44.5°
(c) Check the valve head margin thickness.
Standard margin thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
Minimum margin thickness: 0.5 mm (0.020 in.)
If the margin thickness is less than minimum, replace the valve.

(d) Check the valve overall length.
Standard overall length:
Intake95.45 mm (3.5779 in.)
Exhaust95.40 mm (3.7559 in.)
Minimum overall length:
Intake94.95 mm (3.7382 in.)
Exhaust94.90 mm (3.7362 in.)
If the overall length is less than minimum, replace the valve.
(e) Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear.
If the valve stem tip is worn, resurface the tip with a grinder or
replace the valve.
NOTICE:
Do not grind off more than minimum.
11. INSPECT AND CLEAN VALVE SEATS
(a) Using a 45° carbide cutter, resurface the valve seats.
Remove only enough metal to clean the seats.
(b) Check the valve seating position.
Apply a light coat of prussian blue (or white lead) to the
valve face. Lightly press the valve against the seat. Do not
rotate valve.
(c) Check the valve face and seat for the following:

If blue appears 360° around the face, the valve is
concentric. If not, replace the valve.

If blue appears 360° around the valve seat, the
guide and face are concentric. If not, resurface the
seat.

Check that the seat contact is in the middle of the
valve face with the following width:
1.0 - 1.4 mm (0.039 - 0.055 in.)
If not, correct the valve seats as follows:
(1) If the seating is too high on the valve face, use 30°
and 45° cutters to correct the seat.
