Valve Guide Measurement
1 Measure the valve stem (1) to-guide (2) clearance.
Excessive valve stem-to-guide clearance may cause
excessive oil consumption and may also cause a
valve to break. Insufficient clearance will result in
noisy and sticky functioning of the valve and will
disturb the engine assembly smoothness.
2 Clamp a dial indicator to the cylinder head at the camshaft cover rail.
3 Locate the dial indicator so the movement of the valve
stem from side to side, crossways to the cylinder
head, will cause a direct mo vement of the indicator
stem. The dial indicator stem must contact the side of
the valve stem just above the valve guide.
4 Drop the valve head about 0.064 mm off the valve seat.
5 Use light pressure when moving the valve stem from side to side to obtain a clearance reading, refer to
5 Specifications .
• If the clearance for the valve is greater than
specified and a new st andard diameter valve
stem will not bring the clearance within
specifications, the valv e guide may be oversized
by 0.075 mm using the valve guide reamer, Tool
No. J 42096 or by 0.375 mm using the valve
guide reamer, Tool No. EN-46120. Two sizes of
oversized valve stems are available for service.
• Valve guide wear at the bottom 10 mm of the
valve guide is not significant enough to affect
normal operation.
• If over sizing the guide does not bring the
clearance within specif ications, replace the
cylinder head.

2 Measure the seat width on the valve face (1) using a
correct scale.
CAUTION
The seat contact area must be at least
0.5 mm from the outer diameter (margin) of
the valve. If the contact area is too close to
the margins, the seat must be reconditioned
to move the contact area away from the
margin.
3 Compare the measurements with the specifications,
refer to 5 Specifications .
4 If the seat widths are a cceptable, check the valve
seat roundness, refer to Valve Seat Roundness
Measurement Procedure in this Section.
5 If the seat width is not acceptable, grind the valve
seat to bring the width back to specification. Correct
valve seat width is critical to providing the correct
amount of valve heat dissipat ion, refer to Valve and
Seat Reconditioning Procedure in this Section.


Figure 6A1 – 383
Valve Seat Roundness Measurement Procedure
1 Measure the valve seat roundness using a dial indicator a ttached to a tapered pilot installed in the guide. The pilot
should have a slight bind w hen installed in the guide.
CAUTION
The correct size pilot must be used. Do not
use adjustable diameter pilots. Adjustable
pilots may damage the valve guides.
2 Compare your measurements with the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.
3 If the valve seat exceeds the roundne ss specification, grind the valve and valve seat, refer to Valve and Seat
Reconditioning Procedure in this Section.
4 If new valves are being used, the valv e seat roundness must be within 0.05 mm.
Valve Margin Measurement Procedure
1 Measure the valve margin using an appropriate scale.
2 Refer to 5 Specifications for minimum valve margin
and compare them to your measurements.
3 If the valve margins are beyond specification, replace the valves.
4 If the valve margins are within specification and do not require refacing, test the valve for seat
concentricity, refer to Valve-to-Seat Concentricity
Measurement Procedure in this Section.

Valve-to-Seat Concentricity Measurement Procedure
Checking the valve-to-seat concentricity determines whether the valve and seat are sealing correctly.
Measure the valve face and the valve s eat to ensure correct valve sealing.
1 Coat the valve face lightly with blue dye (3).
2 Install the valve in the cylinder head.
3 Turn the valve against the seat with enough pressure to wear off the dye.
4 Remove the valve from the cylinder head.
5 Inspect the valve face.
NOTE
• If the valve face is concentric, providing a
correct seal, with the valve stem, a continuous
mark (1) will be made around the entire face (2).
• The wear mark must be at least 0.5 mm from
the margin of the valve. If the wear mark is too
close to the margin, the seat must be
reconditioned to move the contact area away
from the margin.
• If the face is not concentric with the stem, the
mark will not be continuous around the valve
face. The valve should be refaced or replaced
and the seat must be reconditioned, refer to
Valve and Seat Reconditioning Procedure in
this Section.

Figure 6A1 – 385
Valve and Seat Reconditioning Procedure
If the valve seat width, roundness or conc entricity are beyond specifications, grind the seats in order to ensure correct
heat dissipation and prevent the bu ild up of carbon on the seats.
If valve seat reconditioning is required, reface the valve face, unless a new valve is used.
1 Grind the valve seats (2) to the correct angle specification, refer to 5 Specifications.
2 Using the correct angle specification, grind and
relieve the valve seats (1) to correctly position the
valve seating surface (2) to the valve.
3 Using the correct angle specification, grind and
undercut the valve seats (3) to narrow the valve seat
widths to the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.
4 If the original valve is being used, grind the valve to the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications. Measure
the valve margin again after grinding, refer to Valve
Margin Measurement Procedure in this Section.
Replace the valve if the margin is out of specification.
New valves do not require grinding.
5 When grinding the valves and seats, grind off as little material as possible. Cutti ng valve seat results in
lowering the valve spring pressure.
6 Install the valve in the cylinder head.

Figure 6A1 – 386
CAUTION
If using refaced valves, lap the valves into the
seats with a fine grinding compound. The
refacing and reseati ng operations should
leave the refinished surfaces smooth and true
so that minimal lapping is required. Excessive
lapping will groove the valve face and prevent
a good seat when hot.

8 Determine the connecting rod bearing clearance by
comparing the width of the flattened plastic
gauging (1) material at its widest point with the
graduation on the gauging mate rial container (2).
9 Compare the measurements with the specifications,
refer to 5 Specifications .
10 If the new bearings do not provide the correct crankshaft to connecting rod bearing clearance,
inspect the following:
11 Measure the crankshaft connecting rod journals for the correct specified size and ensure the correct new
bearings are being installed. If the crankshaft
connecting rod journals are in correctly sized, replace
or regrind the crankshaft. Crankshaft machining is
permitted and undersized bearings are available.
12 Measure the connecting rod bearing bore diameter to
ensure correct size. The connecting rod is not
machineable and the connecting rod must be
replaced if out of specification.
13 Clean the plastic gauging material from the connecting rod bearing journals using a soft lint-free
cloth.

Figure 6A1 – 498
Connecting Rod Final Assembly Procedure
1 Carefully guide the connecting rod away from the crankshaft connecting rod journal slightly to lubricate
the crankshaft connecting rod bearing journal.
2 Apply a liberal amount of clean engine oil to the crankshaft connecting rod bearing journal.
3 Guide the connecting rod to the crankshaft connecting rod journal.
4 Install the connecting rod end cap (1) on its original
connecting rod and ensure t he bearing lock tangs are
aligned on the same side of the rod.
CAUTION
• Do not lubricate the new connecting rod
bolts. The new bolts have a pre-applied
graphite lubricant. Applying lubricant to
the connecting rod bolts will effect the
clamp load when the connecting rod
bolts are tightened to the specified
torque. Incorrect clamp load can lead to
component failure and extensive engine
damage.
• Do not reuse the old connecting rod
bolts.
