35. Remove the valves. Maintain the original position of
the valves for installation.
36. 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 0.050 mm (0.002 inch) maximum.
6. Measure the height of the cylinder head from seal-
ing surface to sealing surface. The cylinder head
height should be 134.08 to 134.23 mm. If the cylin-
der head height is less than 134.08 mm, 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.
8. Measure the valve spring height. Refer to ”Engine
Specifications” in this section. If the valve spring
height does not match the specifications, replace
the valve spring.
9. Inspect the valve spring seating surface of the
valve rotators for wear or gouges. Replace as re-
quired.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Clean the cylinder head.
2. Clean the valve guides.
3. Clean all of the threaded holes.
4. Clean the valves of carbon, oil, and varnish.
Cylinder Head Overhaul
Valve Grind–in
1. Lubricate the valve stem using a fine–grained
paste.
2. Lift the valve rhythmically from the seat with a com-
mercially available valve grinding tool in order to
distribute the paste.
3. Check the contact pattern on the valve head and in
the cylinder head.
4. Clean the valves, the valve guides, and the cylinder
head.

Valve Grind
1. Ensure that there are no crater line burns on the
valve cone.
2. The valve may be reground only two times. Do not
grind the valve stem end.
3. The angle at the valve face is 45 degrees.
4. Inspect the assembly height of the intake valves
and the exhaust valves.
Valve Guide – Ream
1. Measure the diameter of the valve guide using the
gauge MKM–571–B and a commercially available
inside micrometer.
Important : Valve oversizes may already have been fitted
in production.
2. An oversize service code is on the valve guide and
the valve stem end. The following table gives the
correct size, reamer, and production code for each
service.
Size
ReamerProduction

Code
Normal––K
0.075KM–8051K1
0.150–2K2
3. Ream the valve guide from the upper side of the
cylinder head to the next oversize.
4. After reaming, cross out the code and emboss the
valve guide with the new code.
Valve Seat – Cut
1. Place the cylinder head on wooden blocks.
2. Cut the intake and the exhaust valve seats using
the guide drift KM–340–7 as follows:
S Valve seat – A 45–degree surface using the cut-
ter KM–340–13.
S Upper correction angle – A 30–degree surface
using the cutter KM–340–13.
S Lower correction angle – A 60–degree surface
using the cutter KM–340–26.
3. Clean the chippings from the cylinder head.

4. Inspect the dimension for the valve seat width.
S Intake: 1.17 to 1.57 mm (0.046 to 0.062 inch).
S Exhaust: 1.4 to 1.8 mm (0.055 to 0.071 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.
Assembly Procedure
1. Install the valve stem seals.
2. Lubricate the valve stems with engine oil.
3. Carefully install the valves in their original positions.
Do not damage the valve stem seals.
4. Install the valve springs in their original positions.
5. Install the valve spring caps.
6. Compress the valve springs with the valve spring
compressor KM–348 and adapter KM–653.
7. Install the valve keys.
8. Remove the valve spring compressor KM–348 and
adapter KM–653.
9. Lubricate the valve tappet adjusters with engine oil.
10. Install the valve tappet adjusters.
