Valve Guide
CAUTION: Take care not to damage the valve seat
contact surface, when removing carbon adhering to
the valve head. Carefully inspect the valve stem fo
r
scratchs or abnormal wear. If these conditions are
present, the valve and the valve guide must be
replaced as a set.
1. Measure the valve stem diameter with a
micrometer. If the valve stem diameter is less than
the specified limit, the valve and the valve guide
must be replaced as a set.

014RS007
2. Measure the inside diameter of the valve guide
with a micrometer. Subtract the measured oute
r
diameter of the valve stem from the measured
inner diameter of the valve guide. If the value
exceeds the specified limit, the valve and the valve
guide must be replaced as a set.

Valve Guide Replacement
1. Using Valve guide replacer: 5884024420,
drive out the valve guide from the combustion
chamber side.
014RS008
2. Apply engine oil to the outside of the valve guide.

in)
(Measured from the cylinder head upper face)
014RW046
3. Check the clearance. If the clearance is less than
the specified value, ream the inside diameter o
f
valve guide. Using a sharp 6 mm reamer, ream the
valve guide to obtain the specified clearance.
Valve Seat
1. Measure the protrusion of the valve stem when a
new valve is installed in the cylinder head. If the
protrusion of the valve stem exceeds the limit,
replace the valve seat insert or the cylinder head
assembly.

2. Measure the valve seat contact width. Make the
necessary corrections if the seat contact surface is
damaged or rough or if the contact width wea
r
exceeds the limit.
Valve seat contact width
Standard: 1.1 mm (0.0433 in)
Limit: 1.7 mm (0.0669 in)
014RS011
Contact Surface Angle on Valve Seat on
Valve
1. Measure contact surface angle on valve seat.
2. If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace
valve, valve guide and valve seat as a set.
Valve contact surface angle: 45
014RS012
Valve Seat Insert Correction
1. Remove the carbon from the valve seat insert
surface.
2. Use a valve cutter to minimize scratches and othe
r
rough areas. This will bring the contact width back
to the standard value. Remove only the scratches
and rough areas. Do not cut away too much. Take
care not to cut away unblemished areas of the
valve seat surface.
Valve seat angle degree: 90
014RW059
3. Apply abrasive compound to the valve seat insert
surface.
4. Insert the valve into the valve guide.
5. Turn the valve while lapping it to fit the valve sea
t
insert.
6. Check that the valve contact width is correct.
7. Check that the valve seat insert surface is in
contact with the entire circumference of the valve.

Valve Seat Insert Replacement
1. Arc weld the rod at several points. Be careful not
to damage the aluminum section.
2.
Allow the rod to cool for a few minutes. This will
cause the valve seat to shrink.
3. Strike the rod and pull it out.
014RS015
4. Carefully clean the valve seat pressfit section on
the cylinder head side.
5. Heat the pressfit section with steam or some
other means to cause expansion. Cool the valve
seat with dry ice or some other means.
6. Insert the pressfit section into the valve sea
t
horizontally.
Standard fitting interference: 0.14 mm
0.09 mm
(0.0055 in
0.0035 in)
7.
After insertion, use a seat grinder to grind finish
the seating face. Carefully note the seating angle,
the contact width, and the depression.
8. Lap the valve and the seat.
Reassembly
1. Install valve guide (1) to cylinder head. Apply
engine oil to the outside of the valve guide. Using
valve guide replacer 5884024420, drive in a
new valve guide from the camshaft side.
2. Install oil controller (3) and spring lower seat (2).
Using oil controller replacer 5884006230, drive
in a new oil controller.
014RW058
3. Install valve to valve guide. Before install valve
guide apply engine oil to the outside of the valve
stem.
4. Install valve spring to cylinder head. Attach the
valve spring to the lower spring seat. The painted
area of the valve spring should be facing
downward.

the cam as well as to the adjusting shim (2) with the
cylinder head built on the cylinder block, give a fe
w
turns to the camshaft by means of timing pulley
tightening bolt, and measure valve clearance when the
nose of cam is just opposite to maximum cam lift (1) as
shown in illustration below.

Selection of Adjusting Shim
Shim to be selected = (Thickness of removed
shim) + (Valve clearance measurement Standard
value) Based on the above formula, the best suited
shim should be selected from 41 sorts of shim
(differently thick at 0.02mm (0.0008 in) intervals from
2.40mm (0.0945 in) through 3.2mm (0.1260 in) thick).
Install the shim and check valve clearance.
