31. Remove the valves. Maintain the original position of
the valves for installation.
32. Remove the valve stem seals.
Cylinder Head Inspection
1. Clean the sealing surfaces.
2. Inspect the cylinder head gasket and mating sur-
faces for leaks, corrosion, and blowby.
3. Inspect the cylinder head for cracks.
4. Inspect the length and the width of the cylinder
head using a feeler gauge and a straight edge.
5. Check the sealing surfaces for deformation and
warpage. The cylinder head sealing surfaces must
be flat within 0.025 mm (0.001 inch) maximum.
6. Measure the height of the cylinder head from seal-
ing surface to sealing surface. The cylinder head
height should be 133.975 to 134.025 mm (5.274 to
5.276 inches). If the cylinder head height is less
than 133.9 mm (5.271 inches), replace the cylinder
head.
7. Inspect all threaded holes for damage.
8. Inspect valve seats for excessive wear and burned
spots.
Valve Inspection
1. Inspect the valve stem tip for wear.
2. Inspect the valve key grooves and the oil seal
grooves for chips and wear.
3. Inspect the valves for burns or cracks.
4. Inspect the valve stem for burrs and scratches.
5. Inspect the valve stem. The valve stem must be
straight.
6. Inspect the valve face for grooving. If the groove is
so deep that refacing the valve would result in a
sharp edge, replace the valve.
7. Inspect the valve spring. If the valve spring ends
are not parallel, replace the valve spring.

4. Inspect the dimension for the valve seat width.
S Intake: 1.2 to 1.4 mm (0.047 to 0.055 inch).
S Exhaust: 1.4 to 1.8 mm (0.055 to 0.070 inch).
5. Inspect the assembly height of the intake valves
and the exhaust valves. If the dimension is exceed-
ed, install new valves. Inspect the assembly height
of the intake valves and the exhaust valves again. If
the valve assembly height is still too large despite
replacing the valves, replace the cylinder head.

2. Insert the valves in the cylinder head in their origi-
nal positions.

8. Install the valve spring caps.
9. Compress the valve springs with the valve spring
compressor KM–348 and adapter KM–653.
10. Install the valve keys.
11. Remove the valve spring compressor KM–348 and
adapter KM–653.
12. Lubricate the valve tappet adjusters with engine oil.
13. Install the valve tappet adjusters.

ENGINE DATA DISPLAY TABLE
DEFINITIONS
ECM Data Description
The following information will assist in diagnosing emis-
sion or driveability problems. A first technician can view
the displays while the vehicle is being driven by second
technician. Refer to Powertrain On–Board Diagnostic
(EOBD) System Check for addition information.
A/C Clutch
The A/C Relay represents the commanded state of the
A/C clutch control relay. The A/C clutch should be en-
gaged when the scan tool displays ON.
A/C Pressure
The A/C High Side displays the pressure value of the A/C
refrigerant pressure sensor. The A/C High Side helps to
diagnose the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0533.
A/C Request
The A/C Request represents whether the air conditioning
is being requested from the HVAC selector. The input is re-
ceived by the instrument panel cluster and then sent serial
data to the ECM and finally to the scan tool over KWP 2000
serial data.
Air Fuel Ratio
The Air Fuel Ration indicates the air to fuel ratio based on
the Front Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S1) inputs. The
ECM uses the fuel trims to adjust fueling in order to at-
tempt to maintain an air fuel ratio of 14.7:1.BARO
The Barometric Pressure (BARO) sensor measures the
change in the intake manifold pressure which results from
altitude changes. This value is updated at ignition ON and
also at Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
Base Injection PWM
Indicates the base Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) or ON
time of the indicated cylinder injector in milliseconds.
When the engine load is increased, the injector pulse width
will increase.
Calculated Air Flow
The calculated air flow is a calculation based on manifold
absolute pressure. The calculation is used in several diag-
nostics to determine when to run the diagnostics.
Desired Idle Speed
The ECM commands the idle speed. The ECM compen-
sates for various engine loads in order to maintain the de-
sired idle speed. The actual engine speed should remain
close to the desired idle under the various engine loads
with the engine idling.
Engine Coolant Temperature
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor sends en-
gine temperature information to the ECM. The ECM sup-
plies 5 volts to the engine coolant temperature sensor cir-
cuit. The sensor is a thermistor which changes internal
resistance as temperature changes. When the sensor is
cold (internal resistance high), the ECM monitors a high
voltage which it interprets as a cold engine. As the sensor
warms (internal resistance decreases), the voltage signal
will decrease and the ECM will interpret the lower voltage
as a warm engine.
