CYLINDER HEAD
 Compress valve spring with valve spring compressor, attach-
ment and adapter (SST). Install valve collet with magnetic
hand.
CAUTION:
When working, take care not to damage valve lifter holes.
 Tap stem edge lightly with plastic hammer after installation to check its installed condition.
8. Install valve lifter.  Install in the original position.
9. Install spark plug tube as follows:  Press-fit spark plug tube following procedure below.
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to cylinder-head mounting hole.
b. Apply sealant to area within approximately 12 mm (0 .47 in) from edge of spark plug tube press-fit side.
Use Genuine High Strength Locking S ealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-44, "
Recommended Chemi-
cal Product and Sealant".
c. Using drift, press-fit spark plug tube so that its height “H” is as specified in the figure.
CAUTION:
 When press-fitting, take care not to deform spark plug
tube.
 After press-fitting, wipe off liquid gasket protruding onto
cylinder head upper face.
10. Install spark plug with spark plug wrench (commercial service tool).

VALVE DIMENSIONS
 Check the dimensions of each valve. For the dimensions, refer to EM-266, "
Standard and Limit".
 If the dimensions are out of t he standard, replace valve and check
the valve seat contact. Refer to "VALVE SEAT CONTACT".

 Set try square along the side of valve spring and rotate spring.
Measure the maximum clearance between the top face of spring
and try square.
 If it exceeds the limit, replace valve spring.
VALVE SPRING DIMENSIONS AND VALVE SPRING PRESSURE LOAD
 Check valve spring pressure at the specified spring height.
 If the installation load or load with valve open is out of the standard, replace valve spring.

CYLINDER BLOCK
 Install main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing caps, and
tighten main bearing cap bolts with main bearing to the specified
torque. Refer to EM-242, "
Disassembly and Assembly" for the
tightening procedure.
 Measure the inner diameter of main bearing with bore gauge.
(Bearing clearance) = (Main bearing inner diamet er) – (Crankshaft main journal diameter)
 If the calculated value exceeds the limit, select proper main bearing according to main bearing inner diame-
ter and crankshaft main journal diameter to obtain the specified bearing oil clearance. Refer to EM-250,
"How to Select Piston and Bearing".
Method of Using Plastigage
 Remove oil and dust on crankshaft main journal and the surfaces of each bearing completely.
 Cut plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil
holes.
 Install main bearings to cylinder block and main bearing caps, and tighten main bearing bolts with main bear- ing to the specified torque. Refer to EM-242, "
Disassembly and Assembly" for the tightening procedure.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft.
 Remove main bearing caps and bearings, and using scale on plas- tigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.
CRUSH HEIGHT OF MAIN BEARING
 When main bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of bearing
must protrude. Refer to EM-242, "
Disassembly and Assembly" for
the tightening procedure.
 If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.

 When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tightened
to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings installed, the
tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-242, "
Disassembly

 If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.
DRIVE PLATE
 Check drive plate and signal plate for deformation or cracks. CAUTION:
 Do not disassemble drive plate.
 Do not place drive plate with signal plate facing down.
 When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or scratch it.
 Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from becom-
ing magnetized.
 If anything is found, replace drive plate. Standard : There must be crush height.
