CYLINDER HEAD
CHECKING THE CYLINDER HEAD
1. Eliminate:• Carbon deposits (from the com-bustion chambers)
Use a rounded scraper.
Do not use a sharp instrument to
avoid damaging or scratching:
• Spark plug threads
• Valve seats
2. Inspect:• Cylinder head
Scratches/damage →Replace.
3. Measure: • Cylinder head warpage
Out of specification →Resurface.
Warpage measurement and resur-
facing steps:
a. Place a straightedge and a feeler
gauge across the cylinder head.
b. Use a feeler gauge to measure the warpage.
c. If the warpage is out of specifica-
tion, resurface the cylinder head.
d. Place a 400–600 grit wet sandpa- per on the surface plate, and re-
surface the head using a figure-
eight sanding pattern.
To ensure an even surface rotate the
cylinder head several times.
INSTALLING THE CYLINDER
HEAD
1. Install:
• Dowel pin "1"
• Cylinder head gasket "2"
• Timing chain guide (exhaust side) "3" • Cylinder head "4"
While pulling up the timing chain, in-
stall the timing chain guide (exhaust
side) and cylinder head.
2. Install:
• Washer "1"
• Cable guide "2"
• Bolts [L = 145 mm (5.71 in)] "3"
• Bolts [L = 135 mm (5.31 in)] "4"
•Nuts "5"
• Apply the molybdenum disulfide grease on the thread and contact
surface of the bolts.
• Follow the numerical order shown in the illustration. Tighten the bolts
and nuts in two stages.
3. Install:• Copper washer "1"
• Oil delivery pipe "2" • Union bolt (M8) "3"
• Union bolt (M10) "4"
4. Install: • Radiator pipe "1"
• Bolt (radiator pipe) "2"
Cylinder head warpage: Less than 0.05 mm
(0.002 in)
