VALVE GUIDE CLEARANCE
Valve Stem Diameter
Measure the diameter of valve stem with micrometer.
Valve Guide Inner Diameter
Measure the inner diameter of valve guide with bore gauge.
Valve Guide Clearance
(Valve guide clearance) = (Valve guide inner diameter) – (Valve stem diameter)

If it exceeds the limit, replace valve guide and/or valve. When valve guide must be replaced, refer to EM-
73, "VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT" .
VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT
When valve guide is removed, replace with oversized [0.2 mm (0.008 in)] valve guide.
1. To remove valve guide, heat cylinder head to 110 to 130°C (230
to 266°F) by soaking in heated oil. Standard
Intake : 5.965 - 5.980 mm (0.2348 - 0.2354 in)

equipment to avoid getting burned.
3. Ream cylinder head valve guide hole with valve guide reamer
(commercial service tool).
4. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130°C (230 to 266°F) by soaking in
heated oil.
5. Using valve guide drift (commercial service tool), press valve
guide from camshaft side to dimensions as shown in the figure.

6. Apply reamer finish to valve guide with valve guide reamer
(commercial service tool).
VALVE SEAT CONTACT

After confirming that the dimensions of valve guides and valves
are within specifications, perform this procedure.

Apply prussian blue (or white lead) onto contacting surface of
valve seat to check the condition of the valve contact on the sur-
face.

Check if the contact area band is continuous all around the cir-
cumference.

If not, grind to adjust valve fitting and check again. If the contact-
ing surface still has NG conditions even after the re-check,
replace valve seat. Refer to EM-75, "
VALVE SEAT REPLACE-
MENT" .
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT
When valve seat is removed, replace with oversized [0.5 mm (0.020 in)] valve seat.
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring should not continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess
in cylinder head. Set the machine depth stop to ensure this. Refer to EM-112, "
Va l v e S e a t" .
CAUTION:
Prevent to scratch cylinder head by excessive boring.
2. Ream cylinder head recess diameter for service valve seat.

Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide center.
This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.
3. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130°C (230 to 266°F) by soaking in
heated oil.
4. Provide valve seat cooled well with dry ice. Press-fit valve seat into cylinder head.
CAUTION:

Avoid directly to touching cold valve seats.Standard

Cylinder head contains heat, when working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.
5. Using valve seat cutter set (commercial service tool) or valve
seat grinder, finish valve seat to the specified dimensions. For
dimensions, refer to EM-112, "
Va l v e S e a t" .
CAUTION:
When using valve seat cutter, firmly grip the cutter handle
with both hands. Then, press on the contacting surface all
around the circumference to cut in a single drive. Improper
pressure on with the cutter or cutting many different times
may result in stage valve seat.
6. Using compound, grind to adjust valve fitting.
7. Check again for normal contact. Refer to EM-75, "
VALVE SEAT CONTACT" .
VALVE SPRING SQUARENESS

Set try square along the side of valve spring and rotate spring.
Measure the maximum clearance between the top face of spring
and try square.
CAUTION:
Do not remove valve spring seat from valve spring.

If it exceeds the limit, replace valve spring (with valve spring
seat).
VALVE SPRING DIMENSIONS AND VALVE SPRING PRESSURE LOAD

Check valve spring each load at specified spring height.
CAUTION:
Do not remove valve spring seat from valve spring.
Standard:

If the installation load or load with valve open is out of the standard, replace valve spring (with valve spring
seat).

WARNING:

Situate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.

Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.

For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in
PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:

Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

Do not start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cool enough.

If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.

Always use the support point specified for lifting.

Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for
unavoidable reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool
before starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.

For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-37, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift" .

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.

Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.

Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
