inder head height should be greater than 89.7 mm (3.531 in)

lValve guide clearance should be measured parallel with
rocker arm. (Generally, a large amount of wear occurs in
this direction.)

VALVE SEATS
Check valve for any evidence of pitting at valve contact surface,
and reseat or replace if worn out excessively.
lWhen repairing valve seats, check valve and valve guide
for wear beforehand. If worn, replace them. Then correct
valve seat.

its mating area (on the cylinder head side) to the dimensions
indicated in the table below. Refer to the figure at the left for
machining procedures.

a. When replacing only cylinder head gasket, install same
grade gasket as the one formerly used.
b. When replacing or repairing cylinder block, cylinder head,
piston, connecting rod and crankshaft, select gasket as fol-
lows:
lSelecting gasket thickness
(1) Measure piston projection from cylinder block surface.
a. Measure the projection a and a¢(cylinder liner height above
cylinder block) at two points in each cylinder.
b. Measure the projection b and b¢(piston height above cylin-
der block) at two points, when the piston is at the top dead
center position.
c. Calculate the piston height projection above cylinder liner b
-a(b¢-a¢).
d. Average the two projections (piston height above cylinder
liner) for each cylinder H
L.
(2) Select suitable cylinder head gasket which conforms to the
largest amount of projection of the four pistons.
