Mushroom shape or diameter larger
than the body of the stem → Replace.
4. Measure:
Margin thickness a
Out of specification → Replace.
5. Measure:
Runout (valve stem)

ENGVALVES AND VALVE SPRINGS
8. Measure:
Valve seat width a
Out of specification → Reface the valve
seat.
Valve seat width:
Intake:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm (0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
Exhaust:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm (0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
Measurement steps:
Apply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) b
to the valve face.
Install the valve into the cylinder head.
Press the valve through the valve guide
and onto the valve seat to make a clear
pattern.
Measure the valve seat width. Where the
valve seat and valve face made contact,
blueing will have been removed.
If the valve seat is too wide, too narrow, or
the seat is not centered, the valve seat
must be refaced.
9. Lap:
Valve face
Valve seat
NOTE:
After refacing the valve seat or replacing the
valve and valve guide, the valve seat and
valve face should be lapped.
Lapping steps:
Apply a coarse lapping compound to the
valve face.
CAUTION:
Do not let the compound enter the gap
between the valve stem and the valve
guide.
Apply molybdenum disulfide oil to the
valve stem.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Piston ring and piston
1. Install:
Piston rings
(onto the piston)
NOTE:
Be sure to install the 2nd piston ring so that
the manufacturer’s mark or number are
located on the upper side of the ring.
Lubricate the piston and piston rings liberally
with engine oil.
2. Position:
Top ring
2nd ring
Oil ring
Offset the piston ring end gaps as
shown.
a: Top ring end
b: 2nd ring end
c: Oil ring end (upper)
d: Oil ring end (lower)
3. Install:
Piston 1
Piston pin 2
Piston pin clips 3
NOTE:
Apply engine oil onto the piston pin, piston
rings and piston.
Be sure that the arrow mark a on the piston
points to the exhaust side of the engine.
Before installing the piston pin clip, cover the
crankcase with a clean rag to prevent the
piston pin clip from falling into the crankcase.
When removing the piston pin clip, pop it out
using the small opening b.
4. Lubricate:
Piston
Piston rings
Inside of cylinder
NOTE:
Apply a liberal coating of engine oil.
