General Description
C: CAUTION
Wear working clothing, including a cap, protec-
tive goggles, and protective shoes during opera-
tion.
Remove contamination including dirt and corro-
sion before removal, installation or disassembly.
Keep the disassembled parts in order and pro-
tect them from dust or dirt.
Before removal, installation or disassembly, be
sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary re-
moval, installation, disassembly, and replacement.
Be careful not to burn yourself, because each
part in the vehicle is hot after running.
Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and
nuts to the specified torque.
Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified
points.
Before disconnecting electrical connectors of
sensors or units, be sure to disconnect the ground
cable from battery.
All parts should be thoroughly cleaned, paying
special attention to the engine oil passages, pis-
tons and bearings.
Rotating parts and sliding parts such as piston,
bearing and gear should be coated with oil prior to
assembly.
Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant contact
the timing belt, clutch disc and flywheel.
All removed parts, if to be reused, should be re-
installed in the original positions and directions.
Bolts, nuts and washers should be replaced with
new ones as required.
Even if necessary inspections have been made
in advance, proceed with assembly work while
making rechecks.
Remove or install the engine in an area where
chain hoists, lifting devices, etc. are available for
ready use.
Be sure not to damage coated surfaces of body
panels with tools or stain seats and windows with
coolant or oil. Place a cover over fenders, as re-
quired, for protection.
Prior to starting work, prepare the following:
Service tools, clean cloth, containers to catch cool-
ant and oil, wire ropes, chain hoist, transmission
jacks, etc.
Lift-up or lower the vehicle when necessary.
Make sure to support the correct positions.

Cylinder Head Assembly
1) Installation of valve spring and valve.
(1) Coat the stem of each valve with engine oil
and insert the valve into valve guide.
NOTE:
When inserting the valve into valve guide, use spe-
cial care not to damage the oil seal lip.
(2) Set the cylinder head on ST1.
(3) Install the valve spring and retainer using
ST2.
ST1 498267600 CYLINDER HEAD TABLE
ST2 499718000 VALVE SPRING REMOVER
NOTE:
Be sure to install the valve springs with their close-
coiled end facing the seat on cylinder head.
(4) Compress the valve spring, and then fit the
valve spring retainer key.
(5) After installing, tap the valve spring retainers
lightly with wooden hammer for better seating.
2) Apply oil to the surface of the valve lifter.
3) Install the valve lifter.
E: INSPECTION
1. CYLINDER HEAD
1) Make sure that no crack or other damage exists.
In addition to visual inspection, inspect the impor-
tant areas by means of red check.
2) Measure the warping of the cylinder head sur-
face that mates with crankcase by using a straight
edge (A) and thickness gauge (B).
If the warping exceeds 0.05 mm (0.0020 in), re-
grind the surface with a surface grinder.
Warping limit:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
Grinding limit:
0.3 mm (0.012 in)
Standard height of cylinder head:
127.5 mm (5.02 in)NOTE:
Uneven torque for the cylinder head nuts can
cause warping. When reassembling, pay special
attention to the torque so as to tighten evenly.
2. VALVE SEAT
Inspect the intake and exhaust valve seats, and
then correct the contact surfaces with valve seat
cutter if they are defective or when valve guides are
replaced.
Valve seat width: W
Intake
Standard
1.0 mm (0.039 in)
Limit
1.7 mm (0.067 in)
Exhaust
Standard
1.5 mm (0.059 in)
Limit
2.2 mm (0.087 in)
