Valve Guides
Replacement (cont'dl
5.
Working from the camshaft side, use the driver andan air hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm (O.l
in) towards the combustion chamber. This willknock off some of the carbon and make removaleasier. Hold the air hammer directly in line with thevalve guide to prevent damaging the driver.
CAUTION: Always wear satety goggles or a faceshield when driving valve guidss.
Turn the head over and drive the guide out towardthe camshaft side of the head.
li a valve guide won't move, drill it out with a 8.0mm (5/16 in) bit, then try again. Dritt guides onty inextreme cases; you could damage the cylinder headif the guide breaks.
Remove the new guide(s) from the freezer, one at atlme, as you need them.

Cylinder Head
Reaming
NOTE: For new valve guides only.
1. Coat the reamer and the valve guide with cutting 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 (see page 6-25).
Verify that the valves slide in the intake and exhaust
valve guides without exerting pressure.

Warpage
NOTE: lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances (see page G22)
are not within specification, the head cannot be resur-
faced.
lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances are within specifica-
tions, check the head for warpage. Measure along the
edges, and three ways across the center.
. if 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 132.0 mm (5.20 in).

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.

Testing
Replace the thermostat if it is open at room temperature.
To test a closed thermostat:
1. Suspend the thermostat in a container of water. Do
not let the thermometer touch the bottom of the hot
container.
THERMOMETER

Heat the water, and check the temperature with a
thermometer. Check the temperature at which the
thermostat first opens, and at which it is fully open.
Measure the lift height of the thermostat when fully
open.

. The clutch is self-adjusting to compensate for wear.
CAUTION: lf there is no clearance bstwa€n the mas-
ter cylinder piston and push rod, ths roloase bearingis held againsi the diaphragm spring, which canresuh in clutch slippage or other clutch probloms.
1. Loosen locknut A, and back off the clutch switch (or
sdjusting bolt) until it no longer touches the clutchpeoar.
2. Loosen locknut C, and turn the push rod in or out toget the specified stroke (@) and height (@) at theclutch oedal.
