INSPECTION
1. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD FOR WARPAGE
(a) Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge,
measure the warpage of the contact surfaces of the
cylinder block and manifolds.
Maximum warpage:
0.08 mm (0.0032 in.)
If the warpage is greater than the maximum, replace
the cylinder head sub-assembly.
2. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD FOR CRACKS
(a) Using a dye penetrant, inspect the combustion
chamber, intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder
block surface for cracks.
If cracked, replace the cylinder head.
3. INSPECT VALVE SEAT
(a) Apply a light coat of Prussian blue to the valve face.
(b) Lightly press the valve against the seat.
NOTICE:
Do not turn the valve.
(c) Check the valve face and seat in accordance with
the following procedure.
(1) If blue appears 360
around the face, the valve
is concentric. If not, replace the valve.
(2) If blue appears 360
around the valve seat, the
guide and face are concentric. If not, resurface
the valve seat (see page EM-87).
(3) Check that the seat contact is in the middle of
the valve face with a width.

4. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
(a) Check the lock of the camshaft timing gear.
(1) Clamp the camshaft in a vise, and confirm that
the camshaft timing gear is locked.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the camshaft.
(b) Release the lock pin.
(1) Cover the 4 oil paths of the cam journal with
vinyl tape as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
The 2 advance side paths are provided in the
groove of the camshaft. Plug one of the paths
with a rubber piece.
(2) Break through the tape of the advance side
path and the retard side path on the opposite
side of the groove.
(3) Apply approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm
2, 28
psi) of air pressure to the paths whose tape
was broken in the procedure above.
CAUTION:
Some oil spraying will occur. Contain the
spray with a shop rag.
(4) Check that the camshaft timing gear revolves in
the advance direction when weakening the air
pressure of the retard side path.
OK:
Gear rotates in advance direction.
HINT:
This operation releases the lock pin for the
extreme retard position.
(5) When the camshaft timing gear reaches the
extreme advance position, remove the air gun
from the retard side path and advance side
path, in that order.
NOTICE:
Do not remove the air gun from the advance
side path first. The gear may abruptly shift
in the retard direction and break the lock
pin.
(c) Check for smooth rotation.
(1) Rotate the camshaft timing gear within its
movable range several times, but do not turn it
to the extreme retard position. Check that the
gear rotates smoothly.
OK:
Gear rotates smoothly.
