c. Install the dowel pins and the camshaft
caps.
TIP
• Tighten the camshaft cap bolts in a crisscross
pattern from innermost to outer caps.
• Do not turn the camshaft when measuring the
camshaft journal-to-camshaft cap clearance.
d. Remove the camshaft caps and then mea-
sure the width of the Plastigauge® “1”.

head and the camshaft caps as a set.
EAS2GB7240CHECKING THE TIMING CHAIN AND CAM-
SHAFT SPROCKET
1. Check:

EAS2GB7250REMOVING THE VALVES
TIP
Before removing the internal parts of the cylin-
der head (e.g., valves, valve springs, valve
seats), make sure that the valves are properly
sealed.
1. Remove:
• Valve lifter “1”
• Adjusting pad “2”
TIP
• Place a cloth in the timing chain space to pre-
vent adjusting pads from falling into the crank-
case.
• Make a note of the positions of valve lifters
and adjusting pads so that they can be rein-
stalled in their original places.
2. Check:
• Valve sealing
Leakage at the valve seat  Check the
valve face, the valve seat, and the valve seat
contact width.
Refer to “CHECKING THE VALVE SEATS”
on page 6-26.
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Pour a clean solvent “a” into the intake and
exhaust ports.
b. Check that the valves are properly sealed.
TIP
Check that there are no kerosene leaks from
the valve seat “1”.

3. Remove:
• Valve cotter “1”

Remove the valve cotters by compressing the
valve spring with the valve spring compressor
“2” and the valve spring compressor adapter

1. Eliminate:
• Carbon deposits
(from the valve face and valve seat)
2. Check:
• Valve seat
Pitting/wear  Replace the cylinder head.
3. Measure:
• Valve seat contact width “a”
Out of specification  Replace the cylinder
head.
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Apply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) “b”
onto the valve face.
b. Install the valve into the cylinder head.
c. Press the valve through the valve guide and
onto the valve seat to make a clear impres-
sion.
d. Measure the valve seat contact width “c”.
TIP
Where the valve seat and the valve face are in
contact with each other, the blueing will have
been removed.

4. Lap:
• Valve face
• Valve seat
ECA
NOTICE
This model uses titanium intake and ex-
haust valves.
Do not use the valves used for lapping the
valve seat. Always replace the valves used
for lapping with new ones.
TIP
• When replacing the cylinder head, replace
also the valves with new ones without them.
• When replacing the valves or the valve
guides, use new valves to lap the valve seats,
and then replace them with new valves.
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Apply a coarse lapping compound “a” to the
valve face.
ECA
NOTICE
Do not let the lapping compound enter the
gap between the valve stem and the valve
guide.
b. Apply molybdenum disulfide oil onto the
valve stem.
c. Install the valve into the cylinder head.
d. Turn the valve until the valve face and the
valve seat are evenly polished, then clean
off all of the lapping compound. Valve seat contact width (intake)

TIP
While turning the valve lapper, tap and lap the
valve seat.
e. Apply a fine lapping compound to the valve
face, and repeat the above steps.
f. After every lapping step, be sure to clean off
all of the lapping compound from the valve
face and the valve seat.
g. Apply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) “b”
onto the valve face.
h. Install the valve into the cylinder head.
i. Press the valve through the valve guide and
onto the valve seat to make a clear impres-
sion.
j. Measure the valve seat contact width “c”
again. If the valve seat contact width is out of
specification, reface and lap the valve seat.
