6) Install valve to valve guide.
Before installing valve to valve guide, apply engine
oil to stem seal, valve guide bore and valve stem.
7) Install valve spring and spring retainer.
Each valve spring has top end (large-pitch end (1))
and bottom end (small-pitch end (2)). Be sure to
position spring in place with its bottom end (small-
pitch end) facing the bottom (valve spring seat side).8) Using special tools (Valve lifter), compress valve
spring and fit two valve cotters (1) into groove in
valve stem.
NOTE
When compressing the valve spring, be
carefully to free from damage in inside face
of tappet installing hole.

Valves and Valve Guides InspectionS6RW0D1406028
Valve Guide
Valve stem-to-guide clearance
Using a micrometer and bore gauge, take diameter readings on valve stems and guides to check stem-to-guide
clearance.
Be sure to take reading at more than one place along the length of each stem and guide.
If clearance exceeds limit, replace valve and valve guide.
Valve stem and valve guide specification
Valve stem end deflection
If bore gauge is not available, check end deflection of
valve stem with a dial gauge instead.
Move stem end in directions (1) and (2) to measure end
deflection.
If deflection exceeds its limit, replace valve stem and
valve guide.
Valve stem end deflection limit
In: 0.14 mm (0.005 in.)
Ex: 0.18 mm (0.007 in.)Va l v e
Visual inspection
• Remove all carbon from valves.
• Inspect each valve for wear, burn or distortion at its
face and stem end, as necessary, replace it.
• Inspect valve stem end face for pitting and wear. If
pitting or wear is found there, valve stem end may be
resurfaced, but not too much to grind off its chamber.
When it is worn out too much that its chamber is gone,
replace valve. Item Standard Limit

Valve head radial runout
Check each valve for radial runout with a dial gauge and
“V” block. To check runout, rotate valve slowly. If runout
exceeds its limit, replace valve.
Valve head radial runout
Limit: 0.08 mm (0.003 in.)
Seating contact width
Create contact pattern on each valve in the usual
manner, i.e., by giving uniform coat of marking
compound to valve seat and by rotatingly tapping seat
with valve head. Valve lapper (tool used in valve lapping)
must be used.
Pattern produced on seating face of valve must be a
continuous ring without any break, and the width of
pattern must be within specified range.
Standard seating width “a” revealed by contact
pattern on valve face
Intake and Exhaust: 1.0 – 1.4 mm (0.0389 – 0.0551
in.)Valve seat repair
A valve seat not producing a uniform contact with its
valve or showing width of seating contact that is out of
specified range must be repaired by regrinding or by
cutting and regrinding and finished by lapping.
1)Exhaust valve seat:
Use valve seat cutters (1) to make two cuts as
illustrated in figure. Two cutters must be used: the
first for making 22° angle, and the second for making
45° angle. The second cut must be made to produce
desired seat width.
Seat width for exhaust valve seat
“a”: 1.0 – 1.4 mm (0.0389 – 0.0551 in.)
2)Intake valve seat:
Use valve seat cutters (1) to make three cuts as
illustrated in figure. Three cutters must be used: the
1st for making 22° angle, the 2nd for making 60°
angle, and 3rd for making 45° angle. The 3rd cut
(45°) must be made to produce desired seat width.
Seat width for intake valve seat
“b”: 1.0 – 1.4 mm (0.0389 – 0.0551 in.)
3)Valve lapping:
Lap valve on seat in two steps, first with coarse size
lapping compound applied to face and the second
with fine-size compound, each time using valve
lapper according to usual lapping method.

Cylinder Head InspectionS6RW0D1406029
• Remove all carbon deposits from combustion
chambers.
NOTE
Do not use any sharp-edged tool to scrape
off carbon deposits. Be careful not to scuff or
nick metal surfaces when decarbonizing. The
same applies to valves and valve seats, too.

• Check cylinder head for cracks on intake and exhaust
ports, combustion chambers, and head surface. Using
a straightedge and thickness gauge, check flatness of
gasketed surface at a total of 6 locations. If distortion
limit is exceeded, correct gasketed surface with a
surface plate and abrasive paper of about #400
(Waterproof silicon carbide abrasive paper): place
abrasive paper on and over surface plate, and rub
gasketed surface against paper to grind off high spots.
Should this fail to reduce thickness gauge readings to
within limit, replace cylinder head.
Leakage of combustion gases from this gasketed joint
is often due to warped gasketed surface: such
leakage results in reduced power output.Distortion for cylinder head surface on piston side
Limit: 0.03 mm (0.001 in.)
• Distortion of manifold seating faces:
Check seating faces of cylinder head for manifolds,
using a straightedge and thickness gauge, in order to
determine whether these faces should be corrected or
cylinder head replaced.
Distortion for cylinder head surface on intake and
exhaust manifold
Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)

Valve Spring InspectionS6RW0D1406030
Valve Spring Free Length and Preload
Referring to data, check to be sure that each spring is in
sound condition, free of any evidence of breakage or
weakening. Remember, weakened valve springs can
cause chatter, not to mention possibility of reducing
power output due to gas leakage caused by decreased
seating pressure.
Valve spring free length
Standard: 36.83 mm (1.450 in.)
Limit: 35.83 mm (1.411 in.)
Valve spring preload
Standard: 107 – 125 N (10.7 – 12.5 kgf) for 31.50 mm
(23.6 – 27.6 lb/1.240 in.)
Limit: 102 N (10.2 kgf) for 31.50 mm (22.5 lb/1.240 in.)Spring Squareness
Use a square and surface plate to check each spring for
squareness in terms of clearance between end of valve
spring and square. Valve springs found to exhibit a
larger clearance than limit must be replaced.
Valve spring squareness
Limit: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)

rod into place on crankshaft.
Using a hammer handle, tap piston head to install
piston into bore. Hold ring compressor firmly against
cylinder block until all piston rings have entered
cylinder bore.
