ENGVALVES AND VALVE SPRINGS
5. Measure:
Runout (valve stem)
Out of specification → Replace.
NOTE:
When installing a new valve always replace
the guide.
If the valve is removed or replaced always
replace the oil seal.
6. Eliminate:
Carbon deposits
(from the valve face and valve seat)
7. Inspect:
Valve seats
Pitting/wear → Reface the valve seat.
Runout limit:
0.01 mm (0.0004 in)
8. Measure:
Valve 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:
Apply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) b
to the valve face.
Install the valve into the cylinder head.
Press the valve through the valve guide
and onto the valve seat to make a clear
pattern.
Measure the valve seat width. Where the
valve seat and valve face made contact,
blueing will have been removed.
If the valve seat is too wide, too narrow, or
the seat is not centered, the valve seat
must be refaced.

9. Lap:
Valve face
Valve 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:
Apply a coarse lapping compound to the
valve face.
CAUTION:
Do not let the compound enter the gap
between the valve stem and the guide.
Apply molybdenum disulfide oil to the
valve stem.
Install the valve into the cylinder head.
Turn 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.
Apply 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.
Apply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) to
the valve face.
Install the valve into the cylinder head.
Press the valve through the valve guide
and onto the valve seat to make a clear
pattern.
Measure the valve seat width again. If the
valve seat width is out of specification,
reface and relap the valve seat.

NOTE:
While compressing the valve spring with a
valve spring compressor 1 install the valve
cotters.
4. To secure the valve cotters onto the
valve stem, lightly tap the valve tip with a
piece of wood.
CAUTION:
Hitting the valve tip with excessive force
could damage the valve.

5. Install:
Adjusting pad 1
Valve lifter 2
NOTE:
Apply the engine oil on the valve lifters.
Apply the molybdenum disulfide oil on the
valve stem end.
Valve lifter must turn smoothly when rotated
with a finger.
Be careful to reinstall valve lifters and pads
in their original place.

Out of specification → Replace.
NOTE:
You cannot measure the end gap on the
expander spacer of the oil control ring. If the oil
control ring rails show excessive gap, replace
all three rings.

2. Measure:
Piston pin-to-piston clearance
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Piston
1. Install:
Piston rings
Onto the piston.
NOTE:
Be sure to install the piston rings so that the
manufacturer’s marks or numbers are
located on the upper side of the rings.
Lubricate the piston and piston rings liberally
with engine oil. Measurement steps:
Measure the outside diameter (piston pin)
a.
If out of specification, replace the piston
pin
Outside diameter (piston pin):
WR426F: 18.991 ~ 19.000 mm
(0.7477 ~ 0.7480 in)
WR400F: 17.991 ~ 18.000 mm
(0.7083 ~ 0.7093 in)
Measure the inside diameter (piston) b.
Inside diameter (piston):
WR426F: 19.004 ~ 19.015 mm
(0.7482 ~ 0.7486 in)
WR400F: 18.004 ~ 18.015 mm
(0.7088 ~ 0.7093 in)
Calculate the piston pin-to-piston clear-
ance with the following formula.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance =
Inside diameter (piston) b –
Outside diameter (piston pin) a
If out of specification, replace the piston.
Piston pin-to-piston clearance:
0.004 ~ 0.024 mm
(0.00016 ~ 0.00094 in)
