cer.
Limite de déformation de
la culasse:
Moins de 0,05 mm
(0,002 in)
Etapes de la mesure de la limite de
déformation et du surfaçage:
lPlacer une règle et une jauge
d’épaisseur sur la culasse.
lUtiliser une jauge d’épaisseur pour
mesurer la déformation.
lSi la déformation est hors spécifi-
cations, surfacer la culasse.
lMettre un morceau de toile émeri
n˚400 à 600 humide sur une plaque
à surfacer et surfacer la culasse en
décrivant des “huit”.
N.B.:
Tourner la culasse plusieurs fois pour
obtenir une surface lisse.INSPECCIÓN
Culata
1. Eliminar:
lDepósitos de carbonilla (de las
cámaras de combustión)
Utilice una rasqueta redon-
deada.
NOTA:
No utilice un instrumento afilado para
evitar daños y arañazos:
lRoscas de la bujía
lAsientos de válvula
2. Inspeccionar:
lCulata

zar.
3. Medir:
lAlabeo de la culata
Fuera de especificaciones ®
Rectificar.
Alabeo de la culata:
Menos de 0,05 mm
(0,002 in)
Pasos de medición y rectificación
del alabeo:
lColoque una regla y un calibre de
espesores en la culata.
lUtilice un calibre de espesores para
medir el alabeo.
lSi el alabeo está fuera de especifi-
caciones, rectifique la culata.
lColoque un papel de lija húmedo
de grano 400 ~ 600 sobre el plano
de la junta de la culata y comience
el rectificado de la culata siguiendo
un patrón en forma de ocho.
NOTA:
Para asegurar una superficie uni-
forme, gire la culata varias veces.

5. Measure:
lRunout (valve stem)
Out of specification ® Replace.
NOTE:
lWhen installing a new valve always replace
the guide.
lIf the valve is removed or replaced always
replace the oil seal.
6. Eliminate:
lCarbon deposits
(from the valve face and valve seat)
7. Inspect:
lValve seats
Pitting/wear ® Reface the valve seat.
Runout limit:
0.01 mm (0.0004 in)
8. Measure:
lValve seat width a
Out of specification ® Reface the valve
seat.
Valve seat width:
Intake:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm (0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
Exhaust:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm (0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
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.
CAUTION:
Do not let the compound enter the gap
between the valve stem and the guide.
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.
NOTE:
For best lapping results, lightly tap the valve
seat while rotating the valve back and forth
between your hands.
lApply a fine lapping compound to the
valve face and repeat the above steps.
NOTE:
After every lapping operation be sure to
clean off all of the compound from the valve
face and valve seat.
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.
