Valve Lifter Clearance
VALVE LIFTER OUTER DIAMETER
Measure the outer diameter of valve lifter with micrometer.
VALVE LIFTER HOLE DIAMETER
Measure the inner diameter of valve lifter hole of cylinder head
with inside micrometer.
VALVE LIFTER CLEARANCE
(Valve lifter clearance) = (Valve lifter hole diameter) – (Valve lifter outer diameter)
If the calculated value is out of the standard, referring to each standard of valve lifter outer diameter and
valve lifter hole diameter, replace either or both valve lifter and cylinder head.
INSTALLATION
1. Install valve lifters and adjusting shims if removed.
Install it in the original position.
2. Install camshafts.
Follow your identification marks made during removal, or fol-
low the identification marks that are present on new cam-
shafts for proper placement and direction. Standard : 33.965 - 33.975 mm (1.3372 - 1.3376 in)

CYLINDER HEAD
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
VALVE SEAT CONTACT
After confirming that the dimensions of valve guides and valves
are within the specifications, perform this procedure.
Apply prussian blue (or white lead) onto contacting surface of
valve seat to check the condition of the valve contact on the sur-
face.
Check if the contact area band is continuous all around the cir-
cumference.
If not, grind to adjust valve fitting and check again. If the contact-
ing surface still has “NG” conditions even after the re-check,
replace valve seat. Refer to EM-238, "
VALVE SEAT REPLACE-
MENT" .
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT
When valve seat is removed, replace with oversized [0.5 mm (0.020 in)] valve seat.
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring should not continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess in cylinder head. Set the machine depth stop to ensure this. Refer to EM-277, "
Va l v e S e a t" .
CAUTION:
Prevent to scratch cylinder head by excessive boring.
2. Ream cylinder head recess diameter for service valve seat.
Be sure to ream in circles concentric to valve guide center.
This will enable valve to fit correctly.
3. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130 °C (230 to 266 °F) by soaking in
heated oil.
4. Provide valve seats cooled well with dry ice. Force fit valve seat into cylinder head. CAUTION:
Avoid directly touching cold valve seats.
Cylinder head contains heat. When working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.
5. Using valve seat cutter set (commercial service tool) or valve seat grinder, finish seat to the specified dimensions. Refer to
EM-277, "
Va l v e S e a t" .
CAUTION:
When using valve seat cutter, firmly grip cutter handle with
both hands. Then, press on the contacting surface all
around the circumference to cut in a single drive. Improper
pressure on with cutter or cutting many different times may
result in stage valve seat.

Use Undersize Bearing Usage Guide
When the specified main bearing oil clearance is not obtained with standard size main bearings, use
underside (US) bearing.
When using undersize (US) bearing, measure the main bearing inner diameter with bearing installed, and
grind main journal so that the main bearing oil clearance satisfies the standard.
CAUTION:
In grinding crankshaft main journal to use undersize bear-
ings, keep the fillet R [1.5 mm (0.059 in)].
