C: INSPECTION
1. CYLINDER HEAD
1) Make sure that no crack or other damage
exists. In addition to visual inspection, inspect
important areas by means of red lead check.
Also make sure that gasket installing surface
shows no trace of gas and water leaks.
2) Place cylinder head on ST.
ST 498267800 CYLINDER HEAD TABLE
3) Measure the warping of the cylinder head sur-
face that mates with crankcase using a straight
edge and thickness gauge.
If the warping exceeds 0.05 mm (0.0020 in),
regrind the surface with a surface grinder.
Warping limit:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
Grinding limit:
0.3 mm (0.012 in)
Standard height of cylinder head:
97.5 mm (3.839 in)
CAUTION:
Uneven torque for the cylinder head bolts can
cause warping. When reassembling, pay spe-
cial attention to the torque so as to tighten
evenly.

2. VALVE SEAT
Inspect intake and exhaust valve seats, and cor-
rect the contact surfaces with valve seat cutter if
they are defective or when valve guides are
replaced.
Valve seat width: W
Intake
Standard 1.0 mm (0.039 in)
Limit 1.7 mm (0.067 in)
Exhaust

3. VALVE GUIDE
1) Check the clearance between valve guide and
stem. The clearance can be checked by measur-
ing the outside diameter of valve stem and the
inside diameter of valve guide with outside and
inside micrometers respectively.
Clearance between the valve guide and valve
stem:
Standard
Intake 0.035 Ð 0.062 mm (0.0014 Ð
0.0024 in)
Exhaust 0.040 Ð 0.067 mm (0.0016 Ð
0.0026 in)
Limit
0.15 mm (0.0059 in)
Valve guide inner diameter:
6.000 Ð 6.012 mm (0.2362 Ð 0.2367 in)
B2M0387A
Valve stem outer diameters:
Intake
5.945 Ð 5.960 mm (0.2341 Ð 0.2346 in)
Exhaust
5.950 Ð 5.965 mm (0.2343 Ð 0.2348 in)
B2M0076A
2) If the clearance between valve guide and stem
exceeds the specification, replace guide as fol-
lows:
(1) Place cylinder head on ST1 with the com-
bustion chamber upward so that valve guides
enter the holes in ST1.
(2) Insert ST2 into valve guide and press it
down to remove valve guide.

make sure that neither scratches nor damages
exist on the inside surface of the valve guide
holes in cylinder head.

(7) Ream the inside of valve guide with ST.
Gently rotate the reamer clockwise while press-
ing it lightly into valve guide, and return it also
rotating clockwise. After reaming, clean valve
guide to remove chips.
CAUTION:
IApply engine oil to the reamer when ream-
ing.
IIf the inner surface of the valve guide is torn,
the edge of the reamer should be slightly
ground with an oil stone.
IIf the inner surface of the valve guide
becomes lustrous and the reamer does not
chips, use a new reamer or remedy the reamer.

replace if damaged, worn, or deformed, or if ªHº is
less than the specified limit.

2) Put a small amount of grinding compound on
the seat surface and lap the valve and seat sur-
face. <Ref. to 2-3a [W5C2].> Install a new intake
valve oil seal after lapping.
5. VALVE SPRING
1) Check valve springs for damage, free length,
and tension. Replace valve spring if it is not to the
specifications presented below.
2) To measure the squareness of the valve spring,
stand the spring on a surface plate and measure
its deflection at the top using a try square.
