Reconditioning
1. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder
valve seat cutter.
NOTE: lf any guides are worn (see
replace them (see page 6-80) before

head with a

cutting the
Carefully cut a 45o seat, removing only enough mate-
rial to ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30" cutterand the lower edge of the seat with the 60. cutter.Check width of seat and adjust accordingly,
Make one more very light pass with the 45" cutter toremove any possible burrs caused bv the other cut-
ters.

5. After resufacing the seat. inspect for even valveseating: Apply Prussian Blue Compound to thevalve face, and insert the valve in its original loca-tion in the head. then lift it and snap it closedagainst the seat several times.
PRUSSIAN BLUE COMPOUND
The actual valve seating surface, as shown by theblue compound, should be centered on the seat.. lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you mustmake a second cut with the 60. cutter to move itdown, then one more cut with the 45. cutter torestore seat width.
. lf it is too low (closer to the valve edge), you must
make a second cut with the 30. cutter to move itup. then one more cut with the 45. cutter to restoreseat width.
NOTE: The final cut should always be made withthe 45" cutter,
7. Insen the intake and exhaust valves in the head and
measure valve stem installed heioht.

lf valve stem installed height is over the service limit,replace the valve and recheck. lf it is still over the ser-vice limit, replace the cylinder head; the valve seat inthe h6ad is too deep.

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).

lf the measurement exceeds the service limit, recheck
using a new valve.
lf the measurement is now within the service limit.
reassemble using the 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, mea-
sured 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 between the largest guide measurement
and the smallest stem measurement should not exceed
the service limit.

Valve Guides
Replacement
1. As illustrated below, use a commerciallv available
air-impact valve guide driver attachment modified
to fit the diameter of the valve guides. ln most
cases, the same procedure can be done using the
sDecial tool and a conventional hammer.

Select the proper replacement guides and chill
them in the freezer section of a refrigerator for
about an hour.
Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder
head to 300"F (150"C). Monitor the temperature with
a cooking thermometer.
CAUTION:
. Do not use a torch; it may warp tho head.. Do not get tho head hotter than 300"F {150"C};excesgive heat may loosen thg valve seats.. To avoid burns. use haaw gloves whon handling
the heatod cylinder head.

Working from the camshaft side, use the driver and
an air hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm (0.1 in)
towards the combustion chamber. This will knock off
some ofthe carbon and make removaleasier.
CAUTION:
. Always wsar safety goggles or a face shield whsn
driving valve guides.
. Hold the air hammer dir€ctly in line with the
valve guide to prevont damaging thg dtiver.
Turn the head over and drive the guide out toward
the camshaft side of the head.
VALVE GUIOE DRIVER,5.5 mm077{2 - 0010100
lf a valve guide still won't move. drill it out with a8.0 mm (5/16 in) bit, then try again.
CAUTION: Drill guides only in extreme cases; you
could damago the cylinder head if ths guide br6aks.
Remove the new guide(s) from the freezer, one at a
time, as vou need them.

7. Apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the outside
of the new valve guide. Install the guide from the
camshaft side of the head; use the special tool to
drive the guide in to the specified installed height. lf
you have all l6 guides to do, you may have to reheat
the head,

NOTE: For new valve guides onlY.
1. Coat both reamer and valve guide with cufting oil.
2. Rotate the reamer clockwise the full length of the
valve guide bore.
Continue to rotate the reamer clockwise while
removing it from the bore
Thoroughly wash the guide in detergent and water
to remove any cutting residue.
Check clearance with a valve lsee page 6-73)
. Verify that the valve slides in the intake and
exhaust valve guides without exertlng pressure.
