  5. INSPECT INTAKE VALVE SEAT 
    1. Apply a light coat of Prussian blue to the valve face.
    2. Lightly press the valve face against the intake valve seat.

      *a Width
      1. If Prussian blue appears around the entire valve face, the valve face is circular. If not, replace the intake valve.
      2. If Prussian blue appears around the entire intake valve seat, the valve guide bush and valve face are concentric.

        If not, resurface the intake valve seat.

      3. Check that the intake valve seat contacts the middle of the valve face with the width between 1.1 to 1.5 mm (0.0433 to 0.0591 in.).
  6. INSPECT EXHAUST VALVE SEAT 
    1. Apply a light coat of Prussian blue to the valve face.
    2. Lightly press the valve face against the exhaust valve seat.
      NOTE:

      Do not rotate the exhaust valve.

    3. Check the exhaust valve face and exhaust valve seat by using the following procedure:
      GTY467291Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002

      1. If Prussian blue appears around the entire valve face, the exhaust valve face is circular.

        If not, replace the exhaust valve.

      2. If Prussian blue appears around the entire exhaust valve seat, the valve guide bush and exhaust valve face are concentric.

        If not, resurface the exhaust valve seat.
