CYLINDER HEAD
DESCRIPTION
The cylinder head is made of high temperature
resistant aluminum alloy and features optimized spi-ral swirl intake ducts and a separate camshaft hous-
ing made of die cast aluminum. The combustion
chamber features four valves per cylinder, central
injectors and glow plugs arranged slant wise. The
intake and exhaust valves have solid valve stems and
conical valve springs. The cylinder head is not ser-
viceable and must be replaced should a repair
become necessary.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - CYLINDER HEAD
BOLT INSPECTION
(1) Measure cylinder head bolts between points
shown (Fig. 12).

BoltsThread Diame-
ter12 M
Length When
New102 mm
Maximum
Length104 mm
(2) If the cylinder head bolt length is greater than
the maximum allowable measurement, replace the
cylinder head bolts.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - MEASURE CYLIN-
DER HEAD SURFACE
NOTE: DO NOT machine the cylinder head surface.
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Remove cylinder head (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
CYLINDER HEAD - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove valves.
(4) Inspect cylinder head contact surface for flat-
ness, porous and damage.
(5) Using a straight edge, measure cylinder head
and cylinder block flatness.
(6) Measure cylinder head height at point (1) indi-
cated and retain reading (Fig. 13).

NOTE: The camshaft housing Must Not be
machined. Basic bore of the camshaft bearings will
be altered.
(7) Measure cylinder head height (1) at point indi-
cated, record stock removal (Fig. 13) CYLINDER
HEAD SPECIFICATIONS.
(8) Measure valve setback at points (2) indicated
(Fig. 13) CYLINDER HEAD SPECIFICATIONS.
NOTE: If measurement is less than dimension ª2º
no further correct valve clearance compensation is
possible; replace the cylinder head.
