Servicing valve gear
Notes:
Cylinder heads with cracks between the
valve seats or between a valve seat ring andthe spark plug thread may continue to be
used without any reduction in life providedthese are slight initial cracks not more than0.3 mm wide or only the first 4 turns of the
spark plug thread are cracked.
After installing new bucket tappets, waitabout 30 minutes before starting the engine (otherwise, valves may strike the pistons);
after this, rotate crankshaft twice.
After working on the valve gear, carefully
crank engine at least 2 revolutions to ensurethat no valve strikes the piston when engine
is started.
