• If reduction of outer diameter appears in a position other than d2, use it as d2 point.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean surfaces of cylinder head and cylinder block.
2. Install a new cylinder head gasket. CAUTION:
Do not reuse cylinder head gasket.
3. Install the cylinder head.
4. Follow the steps below to tighten the cylinder head bolts in the numerical order as shown. • Clean threads and seating surfaces of bolts.
• Apply new engine oil to the threads and the seating surfaces of bolts.
CAUTION:
• If cylinder head bolts are re-used, check their ou ter diameters before installation. Follow the
Outer Diameter of Cylinder H ead Bolts measurement procedure.
• Check and confirm the tighte ning angle by using angle
wrench or protractor. Do not judge angle by visual inspec-
tion.
5. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal. Limit (d1 - d2) : 0.23 mm (0.0091 in) or more

CAUTION:
Use care not to allow gasket debris to enter passages for oil
or water.
2. At each of several locations on bottom surface of cylinder head, measure distortion in six directi ons using suitable tools (A, B).
• If measurements exceed the limit, replace cylinder head.
VALVE DIMENSIONS
Check dimensions of each valve. Refer to EM-111, "Standard and Limit".
VALVE GUIDE CLEARANCE
• Measure diameter of valve stem using suitable tool (A) as shown.
• Measure inner diameter of valve guide with a bore gauge as shown.
• Valve guide clearance = (Valve guide inner diameter) - (Valve stem diameter)
• If it exceeds the limit, replace valve guide and/or va lve. When valve guide must be replaced, follow the
"VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT" procedure.
VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT
When valve guide is removed, replace with oversized (0.2 mm, 0.008 in) valve guide.
1. To remove valve guide, heat cylinder head to 110 ° to 130 °C
(230 ° to 266 °F) by soaking in heated oil.
WARNING:
Cylinder head contains heat. Wh en working, wear protective
equipment to avoid getting burned. Limit : 0.1 mm (0.004 in)

After confirming that the dimensions of valve guides and valves are
within specifications, perform this procedure:
• Apply prussian blue (or white lead) onto contacting surface of valve
seat to check the condition of t he valve contact on the seat sur-
face.
• Check if the contact area band is continuous all around the circum-
ference.
• If not, grind to adjust valve fitti ng and check again. If the contacting
surface still has NG conditions even after the re-check, replace the
valve seat.
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
When valve seat is removed, replace with an oversized [0.5 mm (0.020 in)] valve seat.
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring shoul d not continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess
in the cylinder head. Set the machine depth stop to ensure this.
2. Ream cylinder head recess diameter for service valve seat.
• Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide center.This will enable the valve seat to fit correctly.
3. Heat cylinder head to 110 ° to 130 °C (230 ° to 266 °F) by soaking
in heated oil.
WARNING:
Cylinder head contains heat . When working, wear protec-
tive equipment to avo id getting burned.
4. Use valve seats cooled well with dry ice. Force fit valve seat into cylinder head. CAUTION:
Avoid directly touching the cold valve seats.
5. Finish the seat to the specified dimensions using suitable tool. Refer to EM-111, "Standard and Limit"
.
CAUTION:
When using valve seat cutter, firmly grip the cutter handle
with both hands. Then, press on the contacting surface all
around the circumference to cu t in a single drive. Improper
pressure on the cutter or cutting many different times may
result in a defective valve seat.
6. Using compound, grind to adjust valve fitting.
7. Check again for normal contact.

NOTE:
If the valve spring exceeds the limi t, replace the valve spring with the
