LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using scraper, remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid
gasket application surface and the mating surface.
Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the liquid
gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur-
face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach liquid gasket tube to tube presser [SST: WS39930000
(—)].
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-48, "
RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND
SEALANTS" .
4. Apply liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with
the specified dimensions.
If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply liq-
uid gasket to the groove.
As for the bolt holes, normally apply liquid gasket inside the
holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes.
Make sure to read the text of this manual.
Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.
If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
Do not retighten mounting bolts and nuts after the installation.
Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling engine with engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them.

Compress valve spring with valve spring compressor, attach-
ment and adapter (SST). Install valve collet with magnetic
hand.
CAUTION:
When working, take care not to damage valve lifter holes.
Tap stem edge lightly with plastic hammer after installation to
check its installed condition.
8. Install valve lifter and adjusting shim.
Install it in the original position.
9. Install spark plug tube.
Press-fit spark plug tube as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to cylinder-head mounting hole.
b. Apply sealant to area within approximately 12 mm (0.47 in) from edge of spark plug tube press-fit side.
Use Genuine High Strength Locking Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-48, "
RECOMMENDED
CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS" .
c. Using drift, press-fit spark plug tube so that its height “H” is as
specified in the figure.
CAUTION:
When press-fitting, take care not to deform spark plug
tube.
After press-fitting, wipe off liquid gasket protruding onto
cylinder head upper face.
10. Install spark plug with spark plug wrench (commercial service tool).

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-242, "
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-281, "
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 266F) by soaking in
heated oil.
4. Provide valve seats cooled well with dry ice. Force fit valve seat into cylinder head.
WA R N I N G :
Cylinder head contains heat. When working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.
CAUTION:
Avoid directly touching cold valve seats.
