6. Record the compression pressure on the 3rd revolution. Continue the test for the remaining cylinders.
7. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS) for the correct engine compression pressures.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDERCOMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE
The combustion pressure leakage test provides an accurate means for determining engine condition.
Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seating).
Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water jacket.
Any causes for combustion/compression pressure loss.
1. Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO NOT install the radiatorcap.
2. Start and operate the engine until it attains normal operating temperature, then turn the engine OFF.
3. Remove the spark plugs.
4. Remove the oil filler cap.
5. Remove the air cleaner hose.
6. Calibrate the tester according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The shop air source for testing should maintain
483 kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379 kPa (200 psi) maximum and 552 kPa (80 psi) recommended.
7. Perform the test procedures on each cylinder according to the tester manufacturer’s instructions. Set piston of
cylinder to be tested at TDC compression,While testing, listen for pressurized air escaping through the throttle
body, tailpipe and oil filler cap opening. Check for bubbles in the radiator coolant.
All gauge pressure indications should be equal, with no more than 25% leakage.
FOR EXAMPLE:At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pressure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be maintained in the
cylinder.

2. Position the new cylinder head gasket on the locat-
ing dowels.
CAUTION: When installing cylinder head, use care
not damage the tensioner arm or the guide arm.
3. Position the cylinder head onto the cylinder block.

VALVES & SEATS - INTAKE/EXHAUST
DESCRIPTION
The valves are made of heat resistant steel and have chrome plated stems to prevent scuffing. Each valve is actu-
ated by a roller rocker arm which pivots on a stationary lash adjuster. All valves use three bead lock keepers to
retain the springs and promote valve rotation.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFACING
NOTE: Valve seats that are worn or burned can be
reworked, provided that correct angle and seat
width are maintained. Otherwise the cylinder head
must be replaced.
NOTE: When refacing valves (4) and valve seats, it
is important that the correct size valve guide pilot
be used for reseating stones. A true and complete
surface must be obtained.
1. Using a suitable dial indicator measure the center
of the valve seat. Total run out must not exceed
0.051 mm (0.002 in).
2. Apply a small amount of Prussian blue to the valve
seat, insert the valve into the cylinder head, while
applying light pressure on the valve rotate the
valve. Remove the valve and examine the valve
face. If the blue is transferred below the top edge
of the valve face, lower the valve seat using a 15
degree stone. If the blue is transferred to the bot-
tom edge of the valve face, raise the valve seat
using a 65 degree stone.
3. When the seat is properly positioned the width of the intake seat must be 1.75 - 2.36 mm (0.0689 - 0.0928 in.)
and the exhaust seat must be 1.71 - 2.32 mm (0.0673 - 0.0911 in.).
4. Check the valve spring (6) installed height after refacing the valve andseat. The installed height for both intake
and exhaust valve springs must not exceed 40.74 mm (1.6039 in.).
5. The valve seat and valve face must maintain a face angle of 44.5 - 45 ° angle.

2. Position the new cylinder head gasket on the locat-
ing dowels.
CAUTION: When installing cylinder head, use care
not damage the tensioner arm or the guide arm.
3. Position the cylinder head onto the cylinder block.
Make sure the cylinder head seats fully over the
locating dowels.
