VALVE SERVICE
VALVE AND VALVE SPRINGS
(1) With suitable valve spring compressor, remove
spring retainer locks, retainer, valve spring, spring
seat and valve (Fig. 17). (2) Remove valve stem seals with suitable tool
(Fig. 18). Do not reuse valve stem seals.
VALVES
(1) Check valve stem tip for pitting or depression
at point A (Fig. 19). (2) Check for wear and ridge wear at Point B.
(3) Check for even contact (at face center) with
valve seat, Point C. (4) Check margin. Replace valve if margin is out of
specification (Fig. 20). (5) Check valve guide height (Fig. 20).
(6) Measure valve stem to guide clearance. Refer
to specification (Fig. 21). (7) Measure Valve spring free length and square-
ness (Fig. 22). Refer to (Fig. 21) for specifications.
VALVE SEAT INSPECTION
Inspect the valve seat with Prussian blue to deter-
mine where the valve contacts the seat. To do this,
coat valve seat LIGHTLYwith Prussian blue then
set valve in place. Rotate the valve with light pres-
sure. If the blue is transferred to the center of valve
face, contact is satisfactory. If the blue is transferred
to top edge of the valve face, lower valve seat with a
15 degrees stone. If the blue is transferred to the bot-
tom edge of valve face raise valve seat with a 65 de-
gree stone. (1) Install valve spring seat.

(2) Using suitable tool install seal by tapping
lightly until seal is in place. (Fig. 24). (3) Install valve spring with the enamelled ends
facing the rocker arms (Fig. 25).
CAUTION: During reassembly, compressing the
valve spring more than necessary to install valve
spring retainer locks can cause the retainer to be
forced against the stem seal and damaging it.

the side rail gaps but noton the piston pin center or
on the thrust direction. (7) Connecting rod front mark 72 must always face
forward, toward timing belt end. (Fig. 14) (8) Install the piston and connecting rod assembly
into there respective bore from the cylinder block
top.
CAUTION: Piston assemblies are not to be inter-
changed from bank to bank.

bly and that bearing position notches new or used
are on the same side as shown in (Fig. 15).

CRANKSHAFT AND CYLINDER BLOCK, ASSEMBLY SERVICE
CRANKSHAFT SERVICE
The crankshaft is supported in four main bearings.
All upper bearing shells in the crankcase have oil
grooves. All lower bearing shells in stalled in the
monoblock main bearing cap are plain. Crankshaft
end play is controlled by thrust washers on the num-
ber three main bearing journal.

gasket (Figs. 1 and 2). (2) Remove rear oil seal retainer and seal as as-
sembly (Fig. 3). (3) Release monoblock main bearing cap bolts
evenly. Remove lower bearing shells and identify for
reassembly. (4) Lift out crankshaft and remove upper thrust
washers from each side of number three main bear-
ing in the crankcase (Fig. 1).

bearing inside diameter (Figs. 4 and 5). If the clear-
ance exceeds the specifications limit (Fig. 6). Replace
the main bearing(s) and if necessary replace the
crankshaft.

(1) Clean cylinder block and check top surface for
distortion with a straight edge and thickness gauge
(Fig. 16). (2) Top surface must be flat within: ²
Standard Value: 0.05 mm (.002 inch)
² Service Limit 0.1 mm (.003 inch)
CAUTION: Maximum of 0.2mm (.008 inch) is permit-
ted. This is a combined total dimension of stock re-
moval from cylinder head (if any) and block top
surface.
BORING CYLINDER
Examine cylinder walls for scuffs, scoring and mea-
sure cylinder bore for out-of-round or taper. If defec-
tive, bore cylinder to oversize. Measure at points
shown in (Fig. 17). Four oversize pistons are available (0.25mm (.010
inch) 0.50mm (.020 inch) 0.75mm (.030 inch) and
1.0mm (.039 inch). Determine oversize piston on ba-
sis of largest cylinder bore.
(1) Bore to specified clearance between the piston
O.D. and cylinder. The measuring point of the piston
O.D. is shown in (Fig. 18). (2) Based on measured piston O.D., calculate bor-
ing finish dimension. Boring finish dimension equals
piston O.D. plus 0.03 to 0.05 mm (.0012 to .002 inch)
