cator while rocking the stem in the direction of normal
thrust (wobble method).

. lf the measurement exceeds the service limit,
recheck using a new valve.
. lf the measurement is now within the service
limit, reassemble using a new valve.
. lf the measurement still exceeds the limit,
recheck using the alternate method below, then
replace the valve and guide, if necessary.
NOTE: An alternate method of checking guide to
stem clearance is to subtract the O.D. of the valve
stem, measured with a micrometer, from the l.D. of
the valve guide, measured with an inside
micrometer or ball gauge. Take the measurements
in three places along the valve stem and three
places inside the valve guide. The difference be-
tween the largest guide measurement and the
smallest stem measurement should not exceed the
service limit.

Warpage
NOTE: lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances (see page 475)
are not within specification, the head cannot be resurfaced.
lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances are within specifica-
tions, check the head for warPage.
. lf warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in) cylinder
head resurfacing is not required.
. lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in) and 0 2 mm
(0.008 in), resurface cylinder head
. Maximum resurface limit is 0.2 mm (0.008 in) based
on a height of 142 mm (5.59 in).

A/C System Service
Charging
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner refrigerant and
lubricant vapor or mist can irritale eyes, nose and
throat. Avoid breathing the air conditioner retrigerant
and lubricant vaoor or mist,
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate workarea before resuming service, Additional health and
safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant
and lubricant manufacturers.
Refrigerant capacityt 600 - 650 g 121.1 - 22.9 ozl
CAUnON: Do not overcharg€ the system; the comprcssor
will be damaged.
Connect a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging
station to the vehicle, as shown, following the equipment
manufacturer's instructions.

Leak Test
Use only service equipment that is U.L,-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner system.
CAUTION: Exposure io air conditioner refrigerant and
lubricant vapot or mist can itritats eyes, no36 and thtoat.
Avoid breathing the air conditioner refrigeranl and lubri-
cant vapor or mist,
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate workarea betore resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
comoressed air.
@ some mixtures of air and R-134a have
been shown to be combugtibls at elevatgd prossures
and can result in tire or explosion causing iniuly orplopgrty damage. Nev€r usc compre33od air to pressure
test R-13'la servica oquipment or yohiclo air conditionor
systems.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained
from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
1. Connect a R-134a refrigerant recove rylrecycling/
charging station to the vehicle, as shown in the pre-
vious column, following the equipment manufactur-
er's instructions.
NOTE; Be sure to install the same amount of new
refrigerant oil back into the A,/C system before charg-In9.
Open the high-pressure valve to charge the system
to the specified capacity, then close the supply
valve, and remove the charging system couplers.
Rofrigerant capacity: 600 - 650 g (21.1 - 22.9 oz)
Check the system for leaks using a R-134a refriger-
ant leak detector with an accuracy of 14 9 10.5 ozlper yea. or better.
lf you find leaks that require the system to be opened(to repair or replace hoses. fittings. etc.), recover the
system according to the Recovery Procedure on page
22-27.
After checking and repairing leaks. the system must
be evacuated (see System Evacuation on page 22-451.
