Brush Inspection
Measure the brush length. lf it is not within the service
limit, replace the brush (or brush holder assembly).
Brush Lsngth
Standard {Newl: 14.0 - I'1.5 mm (0.55 - 0.57 inl
Servico Limit: 9.0 mm (0.35 in)
NOTE: To seat new brushes after installing them in their
holders. slip a strip of #500 or #600 sandpaper, with the
grit side up, over the commutator and smoothly rotate
the armature. The contact surface of the brushes will be
sanded to the same contour as the commutator.

Overrunning Clutch Inspection
Slide the overrunning clutch along the shaft. Does it
move freely? lf not, replace it.
Rotate the overrunning clutch both ways. Does it
lock in one direction and rotate smoothly in
reverse? lf it does not lock in either direction or it
locks in both directions, reDlace it.
3.lf the starter drive gear is worn or damaged, replace
the overrunning clutch assembly; the gear is not
available separately.
Check the condition of the torque converter ring gear
or the flywheel ring gear if the starter drive gear
teeth are damaged.

Brush Holder Test
1. Check that there is no continuity between the O and
O brush holders. lf there is continuitv, replace the
brush holder assembly.
O BRUSH HOLDER@ BRUSH HOLDER
Insert the brush into the brush holder, and bring the
brush into contact with the commutator, then attach
a spring scale to the spring. Measure the spring ten-
sion at the moment the spring lifts off the brush.
SPRING SCALE
Spring Tension: 13.7 - 17.7 N
(1.40 - 1.80 kgf, 3.09 - 4.00 lbf)

Starter Reassembly
NOTE: Use the illustration on page 4I as reference for
reassemDty.
1. Pry back each brush spring with a screwdriver, then
position the brush about halfway out ol its holder,
and release the spring to hold it there.
2. Install the armature in the housing. Next, pry back
each brush spring again, and push the brush down
until it seats against the commutator, then release
the spring against the end of the brush.

Loosen the adjusting screws.
Remove the camshaft holders.
Mark the rocker arms, then remove them.
Reinstall the camshaft and holders. Tighten the
camshaft holder bolts in a crisscross pattern, begin-
ning with the inner bolts.
9.8 N.m (1.0 kgf.m.7.2 lbf.ft)
Seat the camshafts by pushing them toward the dis-
tributor end of the head with a screwdriver.
Zero the dial indicator against the end of the
camshaft, push the camshaft back and forth and
read the end play.
Camshaft End Play:
Standard lNewl: 0.05 - 0.15 mm
10.002 - 0.005 in)
Service Limit: 0.5 mm (0.02 in)
Unscrew the camshaft holder bolts two turns at a
time, in a crisscross pattern, Then remove the
camshaft holder bolts from the cvlinder head.
Lift the camshafts out of the cylinder head. wipe
them clean, then inspect the lift ramps, Replace the
camshaft if any lobes are pitted, scored, or exces-
sively worn.
Clean the camshaft journal surfaces in the cylinder
head, then set the camshaft back in Dlace. Place aplastigage strip across each journal.
Install the camshaft holders. and torque the bolts tothe values and in the sequence shown on page 6-31.
NOTE: Do not rotate the camshafts during inspection.

12. lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearance is out of toler-
ance:
. And the camshaft has already been replaced,
you must replace the cylinder head.. lf the camshaft has not been replaced, first check
total runout with the camshaft suoDorted on V-
blocks.

Service Limit 0.04 mm (0.(X)2 in)
Rotat6 camshattwhile measuring.
- lf the total runout of the camshafts is within tol-
erance, replace the cylinder head
- lf the total runout is out of tolerance, replace the
camshafts and recheck. lf the oil clearance is still
out of tolerance, replace the cylinder head.

Valve Seats
Reconditioning
lf the guides are worn (see page 6-25), replace them (seepage e25) before reconditioning the valve seats.
1. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using avalve seat cutter.
Carefully cut a 45o seat, removing only enoughmaterialto 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 acco.dingly.
Make one more very light pass with the 45o cutter toremove any possible burrs caused bv the other cut-ters.
Valve Seat Width (lntake and Exhaust):
Standard {N.w}: 1.25 - 1.55 mm (0.049 - 0.051 in)Servica Limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 in)

5. After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve
seating: Apply Prussian Blue compound to the valve
face, and insert the valve in its original location in
the head, then lift it and snap it closed against the
seat several times.

PRUSSIAN
The actual valve seating surface, as shown by the
blue compound, should be centered on the seat.. lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you
must make a second cut with the 60" cutter tomove it down, then one more cut with the 45"
cutter to restore seat width.
. lf it is too low (closer to the valve edge), you
must make a second cut with the 30. cutter tomove it up, then one more cut with the 45. cutter
to restore seat width.
NOTE: The final cut should alwavs be made withthe 45" cutter,
Insert the intake and exhaust valves in the head,
and measure valve stem installed heioht.
