CLEANING
Remove any original sealer from the cover sealing
surface of the engine cylinder head and clean the
surface using a fabric cleaner.
Remove all residue from the sealing surface using
a clean, dry cloth.
INSPECTION
Inspect the engine cylinder head cover for cracks.
Replace the cover, if cracked.
The original dark grey gasket material should
NOT be removed. If sections of the gasket material
are missing or are compressed, replace the engine
cylinder head cover. However, sections with minor
damage such as small cracks, cuts or chips may be
repaired with a hand held applicator. The new mate-
rial must be smoothed over to maintain gasket
height. Allow the gasket material to cure prior to
engine cylinder head cover installation.
INSTALLATION
The cylinder head cover is isolated from the cylin-
der head via grommets and a reusable molded rubber
gasket. The grommet and limiter are retained in the
cylinder head cover.
(1) If a replacement cover is installed, transfer the
CCV valve grommet and oil filler cap from the origi-
nal cover to the replacement cover.
(2) Install cylinder head cover and gasket (Fig. 13).
Tighten the mounting bolts to 10 N´m (85 in. lbs.)
torque.
(3) Connect the CCV hoses.(4) Install control cables and bracket on intake
manifold and tighten bolts to 8.7 N´m (77 in. lbs.)
torque.
(5) Connect control cables to throttle body linkage.
(6) Snap control cables into cylinder head cover
clip.
(7) Connect negative cable to battery.
INTAKE/EXHAUST VALVES &
SEATS
DESCRIPTION
The valves are made of heat resistant steel and
have chrome plated stems to prevent scuffing. All
valves use three bead locks to promote valve rotation
(Fig. 14).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - VALVE SERVICE
VALVE REFACING
Clean all carbon deposits from the combustion
chambers, valve ports, valve stems, valve stem
guides and head.
(1) Use a valve refacing machine to reface the
intake and exhaust valves to the specified angle.
(2) After refacing, a margin of at least 0.787 mm
(0.031 inch) must remain (Fig. 15). If the margin is
less than 0.787 mm (0.031 inch), the valve must be
replaced.
VALVE SEAT REFACING
Clean all carbon deposits from the combustion
chambers, valve ports, valve stems, valve stem
guides and head.
(1) Install a pilot of the correct size in the valve
guide bore. Reface the valve seat to the specified
angle with a good dressing stone. Remove only
enough metal to provide a smooth finish.
(2) Use tapered stones to obtain the specified seat
width when required.

(3) Control valve seat runout to a maximum of
0.0635 mm (0.0025 in.) (Fig. 16).
VALVE STEM-TO-GUIDE CLEARANCE
MEASUREMENT
PREFERRED METHOD
(1) Remove the valve from the head.
(2) Clean the valve stem guide bore with solvent
and a bristle brush.
(3) Insert a telescoping gauge into the valve stem
guide bore approximately 9.525 mm (.375 inch) from
the valve spring side of the head (Fig. 17).
(4) Remove and measure telescoping gauge with a
micrometer.
(5) Repeat the measurement with contacts length-
wise to engine cylinder head.
(6) Compare the crosswise to lengthwise measure-
ments to determine out-of-roundness. If the measure-
ments differ by more than 0.0635 mm (0.0025 in.),
ream the guide bore to accommodate an oversize
valve stem.
(7) Compare the measured valve guide bore diam-
eter with specifications (7.95-7.97 mm or 0.313-0.314
inch). If the measurement differs from specification
by more than 0.076 mm (0.003 inch), ream the guide
bore to accommodate an oversize valve stem.
ALTERNATIVE METHOD
(1) Use a dial indicator to measure the lateral
movement of the valve stem (stem-to-guide clear-
ance). This must be done with the valve installed in
its guide and just off the valve seat (Fig. 18).
(2) Correct clearance is 0.025-0.0762 mm
(0.001-0.003 inch). If indicated movement exceeds the
specification ream the valve guide to accommodate
an oversize valve stem.

concentric to the valve guide.
REMOVAL
NOTE: This procedure is done with the engine cyl-
inder head removed from the block.(1) Remove the engine cylinder head (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD - REMOVAL) from the
cylinder block.
(2) Use Valve Spring Compressor Tool
MD-998772A and compress each valve spring.
(3) Remove the valve locks, retainers, springs and
valve stem oil seals. Discard the oil seals (Fig. 19).
(4) Use a smooth stone or a jewelers file to remove
any burrs on the top of the valve stem, especially
around the groove for the locks.
(5) Remove the valves, and place them in a rack in
the same order as removed.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: This procedure is done with the engine cyl-
inder head removed from the block.
(1) Thoroughly clean the valve stems and the valve
guide bores.
(2) Lightly lubricate the stem.
(3) Install the valve in the original valve guide
bore.
(4) Install the replacement valve stem oil seals on
the valve stems (Fig. 20). If the 0.381 mm (0.015
inch) oversize valve stems are used, oversize oil seals
are required.

ROCKER ARM / ADJUSTER
ASSEMBLY
DESCRIPTION
The rocker arms are made of stamped steel and
have a operational ratio of 1.6:1 (Fig. 21).
OPERATION
When the push rods are forced upward by the cam-
shaft lobes the push rod presses upward on the
rocker arms, the rocker arms pivot, forcing down-
ward pressure on the valves forcing the valves to
move downward and off from their seats.
REMOVAL
NOTE: This procedure can be done with the engine
in or out of the vehicle.
(1) Remove the cylinder head cover (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD
COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
(2) Check for rocker arm bridges which are caus-
ing misalignment of the rocker arm to valve tip area.
(3) Remove the capscrews at each bridge and pivot
assembly (Fig. 22). Alternately loosen the capscrews
one turn at a time to avoid damaging the bridges.
(4) Remove the bridges, pivots and corresponding
pairs of rocker arms (Fig. 22). Place them on a bench
in the same order as removed.
(5) Remove the push rods and place them on a
bench in the same order as removed.
