E: INSPECTION
1. CYLINDER HEAD
1) Make sure that no crack or other damages do
not exist. In addition to visual inspection, inspect
important areas using liquid penetrant tester.

(4) Before installing a new valve guide, make
sure that neither scratches nor damages exist
on the inner surface of valve guide holes in cyl-
inder head.
(5) Put a new valve guide, coated with sufficient
oil, in cylinder, and insert the ST1 into valve
guide. Press in until the valve guide upper end
is flush with the upper surface of ST2.

(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)

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.

5. VALVE SPRING
1) Check the valve springs for damage, free length,
and tension. Replace the valve spring if it is not
within the standard value presented in the table.
2) To measure the squareness of the valve spring,
stand the spring on a surface plate and measure its
deflection at the top of spring using a try square.
6. INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE OIL
SEAL
In the following case, pinch and remove the oil seal
from valve using pliers, and then replace it with a
new one.
•When the lip is damaged.
•When the spring is out of the specified position.
•When readjusting the surfaces of intake valve
and valve sheet.
•When replacing the intake valve guide.
1) Set the cylinder head on ST1.
2) Press-fit the oil seal to the specified dimension
indicated in the figure using ST2.

•When press-fitting the oil seal, do not use a ham-
mer or strike in.
7. VALVE LIFTER
1) Check the valve lifter visually.
2) Measure the outer diameter of valve lifter.
Outer diameter:
32.959 — 32.975 mm (1.2976 — 1.2982 in)
