Clean
CAUTION
Due to the aluminium alloy construction of
the cylinder head, wire brushes and steel
scrapers must not be used during the
cleaning process, as damage to sealing
surfaces may occur. Use a wood or plastic
scraper as an alternative.
1 Remove any old thread sealant, gasket material or seal ant using commercially available plastic or wooden scraper.
2 Clean all cylinder head surfaces with non-corrosive solvent.

Safety glasses must be worn when using
compressed air.
3 Blow out all the oil galleries using compressed air.
4 Remove any carbon deposits fr om the combustion chambers.
5 Clean any debris or build-up from the lifter pockets.
Inspect
Visual Inspection
1 Inspect the cylinder head (1) camshaft bearing surfaces for the following conditions:
• excessive scoring or pitting,
• discoloration from overheating, and
• deformation from excessive wear.
2 If any of the above conditions exist on the camshaft bearing surfaces, replace the cylinder head. Do not
machine the camshaft bearing journals.


Figure 6A1 – 377
3 Inspect the cylinder head for the following: • Cracks, damage or pitting in the combustion chambers.
• Debris in the oil galleries. continue to cl ean the galleries until all debris is removed.
• Coolant leaks or damage to the deck face sealing surfac e. if coolant leaks are present, measure the surface
warpage as described under Cylinder Head M easurement within this Section.
• Burrs or any defects that would degrade the sealing of a new secondar y camshaft chain tensioner gasket.
• Damage to any gasket surfaces.
• Damage to any threaded bolt holes.
• Burnt or eroded areas in the combustion chamber.
• Cracks in the exhaust ports and combustion chambers.
• External cracks in the water passages.
• Restrictions in the intake or exhaust passages.
• Restrictions in the cooling system passages.
• Rusted, damaged or leaking core plugs.

CAUTION
When dismantled, ensure the connecting
rod, connecting rod cap, piston and
bearings are organised in their original
position and location. This will also aid
engine mechanical diagnosis.

Clean
1 Remove all thread sealant, gasket material or sealant using a commercially available plastic or wood scraper.
2 Clean all the following areas with a suitable solvent:
• sealing surfaces,
• cooling passages,
• oil passages, and
• bearing journals.
3 Clean all threaded and through holes with a suitable solvent.

Safety glasses must be worn when using
compressed air.
4 Dry the engine block with compressed air.
Inspect
Visual Inspection
NOTE
The following procedure assumes the engine has
been disassembled and cleaned, as described
above.
1 Inspect the crankshaft bearing journals for damage or spun bearings. The crankshaft bearing journals are not
repairable and if damage is f ound, the cylinder block assembly must be replaced.
2 Inspect the primary camshaft chain t ensioner mounting surface on the engine block for burrs or any defects that
would affect the sealing of the new primary camshaft chain tensioner gasket.
3 Inspect all sealing and mating surfaces for damage, repair or replace the cylinder block assembly if required.
4 Inspect all threaded and through holes for damage or excessive debris.
5 Inspect all bolts for damage, if damaged replace with new bolts only.
6 Inspect the cylinder walls for cracks or damage. The cyli nder sleeves are not serviced separately, if the cylinders
are damaged the cylinder block assembly must be replaced.
7 Inspect the engine block for cracks. Do not repair any cra cks. If cracks are found, the cylinder block assembly must
be replaced. Repair any damaged threaded holes, refer to 4.9 Thread Repair Specifications.
Measuring Cylinder Bore Diameter
1 Measure the cylinder bore diameter 37 mm from the
deck face (1) using a commercially available bore
gauge or Tool No. J-8087 (2).
2 Record the results and compare with the dimensions listed in the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.

NOTE
If the cylinder diameter exceeds the
specifications, the cylinder block may be
oversized to 0.25 mm. Only one size of
oversized pistons and rings are available for
service. If the cylinder bore diameter exceeds
specification by mo re than 0.25 mm, the
cylinder block must be replaced.
