INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolts Outer Diameter

Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening
method. Whenever the size difference between “d1” and “d2”
exceeds the limit, replace them with new one.

If reduction of outer diameter appears in a position other than
“d2”, use it as “d2” point.
Cylinder Head Distortion
NOTE:
When performing this inspection, cylinder block distortion should be also checking. Refer to EM-143, "
CYLIN-
DER BLOCK DISTORTION" .

e. Turn all cylinder head bolts 90 degrees clockwise (angle tighten-
ing).
CAUTION:
Check the tightening angle by using the angle wrench
[SST]. Avoid judgment by visual inspection without SST.

Check tightening angle indicated on the angle wrench indica-
tor plate.
f. Turn all cylinder head bolts 90 degrees clockwise again (angle tightening).
4. After installing cylinder head, measure distance between front end faces of cylinder block and cylinder head (left and right
banks).

If measured value is out of the standard, re-install cylinder
head.
5. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.

Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.

Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
Summary of the inspection items:
* Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid. power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

replaced, refer to EM-108, "
VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT" .
VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT
When valve guide is removed, replace with oversized [0.2 mm (0.008 in)] valve guide.
1. To remove valve guide, heat cylinder head to 110 to 130 °C (230
to 266 °F) by soaking in heated oil.
2. Drive out valve guide with a press [under a 20 kN (2 ton, 2.2 US ton, 2.0 lmp ton) pressure] or a hammer and the valve guide drift
(commercial service tool).
WARNING:
Cylinder head contains heat. When working, wear protec-
tive equipment to avoid getting burned.

4. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130°C (230 to 266 °F) by soaking in
heated oil.
5. Using the valve guide drift (commercial service tool), press valve guide from camshaft side to the dimensions as in the figure.
WARNING:
Cylinder head contains heat. When working, wear protec-
tive equipment to avoid getting burned.
6. Using the valve guide reamer (commercial service tool), apply reamer finish to valve guide.
VALVE SEAT CONTACT

After confirming that the dimensions of valve guides and valves
are within the specifications, perform this procedure.

Apply prussian blue (or white lead) onto contacting surface of
valve seat to check the condition of the valve contact on the sur-
face.

Check if the contact area band is continuous all around the cir-
cumference.

If not, grind to adjust valve fitting and check again. If the contact-
ing surface still has “NG” conditions even after the re-check,
replace valve seat. Refer to EM-109, "
VALVE SEAT REPLACE-
MENT" .
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT
When valve seat is removed, replace with oversized [0.5 mm (0.020 in)] valve seat.
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring should not continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess in cylinder head. Set the machine depth stop to ensure this. Refer to EM-156, "
Va l v e S e a t" .
CAUTION:
Prevent to scratch cylinder head by excessive boring.

2. Ream cylinder head recess diameter for service valve seat.

Be sure to ream in circles concentric to valve guide center.
This will enable valve to fit correctly.
3. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130 °C (230 to 266 °F) by soaking in
heated oil.
4. Provide valve seats cooled well with dry ice. Force fit valve seat into cylinder head. WARNING:
Cylinder head contains heat. When working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.
CAUTION:
Avoid directly touching cold valve seats.
5. Using the valve seat cutter set (commercial service tool) or valve seat grinder, finish seat to the specified dimensions. Refer to
EM-156, "
Va l v e S e a t" .
CAUTION:
When using the valve seat cutter, firmly grip cutter handle
with both hands. Then, press on the contacting surface all
around the circumference to cut in a single drive. Improper
pressure on with cutter or cutting many different times may
result in stage valve seat.
6. Using compound, grind to adjust valve fitting.
7. Check again for normal contact. Refer to EM-109, "
VALVE SEAT CONTACT" .
VALVE SPRING SQUARENESS

Set a try square along the side of valve spring and rotate spring.
Measure the maximum clearance between the top of spring and
try square.

If it exceeds the limit, replace valve spring. Oversize [0.5 mm (0.020 in)]
