35. Remove the valves. Maintain the original position of
the valves for installation.
36. Remove the valve stem seals.
Cylinder Head Inspection
1. Clean the sealing surfaces.
2. Inspect the cylinder head gasket and mating sur-
faces for leaks, corrosion, and blowby.
3. Inspect the cylinder head for cracks.
4. Inspect the length and the width of the cylinder
head using a feeler gauge and a straight edge.
5. Check the sealing surfaces for deformation and
warpage. The cylinder head sealing surfaces must
be flat within 0.050 mm (0.002 inch) maximum.
6. Measure the height of the cylinder head from seal-
ing surface to sealing surface. The cylinder head
height should be 134.08 to 134.23 mm. If the cylin-
der head height is less than 134.08 mm, replace
the cylinder head.
7. Inspect all threaded holes for damage.
8. Inspect valve seats for excessive wear and burned
spots.
Valve Inspection

mercially available valve grinding tool in order to
distribute the paste.
3. Check the contact pattern on the valve head and in
the cylinder head.
