REMOVAL POINTS
1. Remove:
lValve lifters 1
lPads 2
NOTE:
Identify each lifter 1 and pad 2 position very
carefully so that they can be reinstalled in their
original place.
2. Check:
lValve sealing
Leakage at the valve seat ® Inspect
the valve face, valve seat and valve
seat width.
Checking steps:
lPour a clean solvent 1 into the intake and
exhaust ports.
lCheck that the valve seals properly.
There should be no leakage at the valve
seat 2.
3. Remove:
lValve cotters
NOTE:
Attach a valve spring compressor 1 between
the valve spring retainer and the cylinder head
to remove the valve cotters.

ENGVALVES AND VALVE SPRINGS
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.
