block. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE) Be careful not to gouge or scratch the alumi-
num head sealing surface.
Clean all engine oil passages.

(0.004 in.) (Fig. 14).
(2) Inspect camshaft bearing journals for scoring.

tom (Fig. 15). (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICA-
TIONS) Replace guides if they are not within
specification.
(5) Check valve guide height (Fig. 16).
INSTALLATION - CYLINDER HEAD
