5. Using a valve guide reamer, apply a reamer finish to the valve
guide.
VALVE SEAT CONTACT
• After confirming that the dimensions of valve guides and valves are
within specifications, perform this procedure.
• Apply prussian blue onto contacting surface of valve seat to check the condition of the valve contact on the surface.
• 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
valve seat.
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring should not continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess in cylinder head. Set
the machine depth stop to ensure this.
2. Ream cylinder head recess for service valve seat.
Be sure to ream in circles co ncentric to the valve guide cen-
ter.
This will enable 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. Press fit valve seat until it seats on the bottom.
5. Cut or grind valve seat using suitable t ool to the specified dimensions. Refer to EM-249, "Cylinder Head"
.
6. After cutting, lap valve seat with abrasive compound.
7. Check valve seating condition. Intake and exhaust

8. Use a depth gauge to measure the distance between the mount-
ing surface of the cylinder head spring seat and the valve stem
end. If the distance is shorter than specified, repeat step 5 to
adjust it. If it is longer, replace the valve seat with a new one.
VALVE SPRING SQUARENESS
Set try square along the side of valve spring and rotate the spring.
Measure the maximum clearance between the top face of spring and
try square.
VALVE SPRING DIMENSIONS AND VALVE SPRING PRESSURE LOAD
Check valve spring pressure at specified spring height.
If it is not within specif ications, replace the spring.
