and insert the valve into valve guide.
NOTE:
When inserting the valve into valve guide, use spe-
cial care not to damage the oil seal lip.
(3) Install the valve spring and retainer.
NOTE:
•Be sure to install the valve spring with its close-
coiled end facing the seat on cylinder head.
•For the valve spring on intake side, install two of
them (inner and outer).
•Install the valve spring with the painted side fac-
ing to retainer.
(4) Set the ST on valve spring.

sure that neither scratches nor damages exist
on the inner surface of valve guide holes in cyl-
inder head.

(6) Check the valve guide protrusion.
Valve guide protrusion L:
11.4 — 11.8 mm (0.449 — 0.465 in)
(7) Ream the inside of valve guide using ST.
Put the reamer in valve guide, and rotate the
reamer slowly clockwise while pushing it lightly.
Bring the reamer back while rotating it clock-
wise. After reaming, clean the valve guide to re-
move chips.
ST 499765900 VALVE GUIDE REAMER
NOTE:
•Apply engine oil to the reamer when reaming.
•If the inner surface of valve guide is damaged,
the edge of reamer should be slightly ground with
oil stone.
•If the inner surface of valve guide becomes lus-
trous and the reamer does not chip, use a new
reamer or remedy the reamer.
(8) Recheck the contact condition between
valve and valve seat after replacing the valve
guide.
4. INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE
1) Inspect the flange and stem of valve, and re-
place if damaged, worn or deformed, or if “H” ex-
ceeds the standard, or offset wear occurs.
H:
Intake (A)
Standard
1.0 mm (0.039 in)
Exhaust (B)

Exhaust (B)
105.2 mm (4.142 in)
2) Put a small amount of grinding compound on the
seat surface, and lap the valve and seat surface.
Install a new intake valve oil seal after lapping.
