- Using a dye penetrant, check the intake ports, exhaust ports and bottom surface of the cylinder head sub-assembly for cracks.
HINT:
If cracks are found, replace the cylinder head sub-assembly.
- Using a dye penetrant, check the intake ports, exhaust ports and bottom surface of the cylinder head sub-assembly for cracks.

- Using a vernier caliper, measure the valve overall length.
*a Overall Length Standard Overall Length
108.25 mm (4.26 in.)
Minimum Overall Length
107.75 mm (4.24 in.)
HINT:
If the overall length is less than the minimum, replace the exhaust valve.
- Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of the valve stem.
Standard Valve Stem Diameter
5.465 to 5.480 mm (0.215 to 0.216 in.)
HINT:
If the diameter is not as specified, check the oil clearance.
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the valve head margin thickness.
*a Margin Thickness Standard Margin Thickness
1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)
Minimum Margin Thickness
0.5 mm (0.0197 in.)
HINT:
If the margin thickness is less than the minimum, replace the exhaust valve.
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the valve overall length.
- INSPECT INNER COMPRESSION SPRING
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the inner compression spring.
Standard free length
51.88 mm (2.042 in.) or 51.90 mm (2.043 in.)
NOTE:Inner compression springs come in 2 different lengths. Make sure all inner compression springs are the same length when replacing them.
HINT:
If the free length is not as specified, replace the inner compression spring.
- Using a steel square, measure the deviation of the inner compression spring.
*1 Deviation *a 37.5 mm (1.48 in.) Maximum deviation
1.3 mm (0.0512 in.)
HINT:
If the deviation is more than the maximum, replace the inner compression spring.
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the inner compression spring.
- INSPECT VALVE GUIDE BUSH OIL CLEARANCE
- Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the valve guide bush.
Standard Valve Guide Bush Inside Diameter
5.510 to 5.530 mm (0.217 to 0.218 in.)
- Subtract the valve stem diameter measurement from the valve guide bush inside diameter measurement.
Standard Oil Clearance
Item Specified Condition Intake 0.025 to 0.060 mm (0.000984 to 0.00236 in.) Exhaust 0.030 to 0.065 mm (0.00118 to 0.00256 in.) Maximum Oil Clearance
Item Specified Condition Intake 0.080 mm (0.00315 in.) Exhaust 0.085 mm (0.00335 in.) HINT:
- Oil clearance = Inside diameter - Valve stem diameter
- If the oil clearance is more than the maximum, replace the valve and valve guide bush.
- Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the valve guide bush.
- INSPECT INTAKE VALVE SEAT
- Apply a light coat of Prussian blue to the valve face.
- Lightly press the valve face against the valve seat.
HINT:
Do not rotate the valve while pressing the valve.
*a Width Check the valve face and intake valve seat by using the following procedure:
- If Prussian blue appears around the entire valve face, the valve face is concentric. If not, replace the intake valve.
- If Prussian blue appears around the entire intake valve seat, the intake valve seat and valve face are concentric. If not, resurface the intake valve seat.
- Check that the intake valve seat contacts the middle of the valve face with the width between 1.0 and 1.4 mm (0.0394 and 0.0551 in.).
- INSPECT EXHAUST VALVE SEAT
- Apply a light coat of Prussian blue to the valve face.
- Lightly press the valve face against the valve seat.
HINT:
Do not rotate the valve while pressing the valve.
*a Width Check the valve face and exhaust valve seat by using the following procedure:
- If Prussian blue appears around the entire valve face, the valve face is concentric. If not, replace the exhaust valve.
- If Prussian blue appears around the entire exhaust valve seat, the exhaust valve seat and valve face are concentric. If not, resurface the exhaust valve seat.
- Check that the exhaust valve seat contacts the middle of the valve face with the width between 1.0 and 1.4 mm (0.0394 and 0.0551 in.).
