Measurement of Mating Surface
1. Measure the height (H) of the cylinder head (refer to Service
data standard ).
2. Check the mating surface of the cylinder head.
3. Mill the sharp edge of the combustion chamber.
4. Re-measure the height (H) of the cylinder head.
5. Seal the intake and exhaust valves.
6. Measure the dimension (T) between the camshaft bearing and the valve system (refer to Service data standard).
7. Mill the cylinder head valve seat (refer to Service data
standard ).
