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.

Piston Measurement
1 Measure piston width using the following procedure:
a Using an outside micr ometer, measure the
width of the piston at 30 mm below the crown
top (1), at the thrust surfaces of the piston,
perpendicular to the piston pin centreline.
b Compare the measurement of the piston to its
original cylinder by subtracting the piston width
from the cylinder diameter.
c Check your measurements with specifications, refer to 5 Specifications .
d If the clearance obtai ned through measurement
is greater than the prov ided specifications and
the cylinder bores are wi thin specification,
replace the piston.

Figure 6A1 – 475
2 Measure the piston pin bore to piston pin (2) clearances using the following procedure:
a Piston pin bores and pins must be free of varnish or scuffing.
b Use an outside micrometer (1) to measure the
piston pin in the piston contact areas.

Figure 6A1 – 476
3 Using an inside micrometer , measure the piston pin
bore (1). Compare the resu lt with the piston pin
diameter and piston pin to piston pin bore clearance
listed in the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.
4 If the clearance is excessive, determine which piece is out of specification and replace as required.
5 Replace the piston if any of its dimensions are out of
specification.
6 If the new piston does not meet clearance specifications, the cylinder block may need to be
oversized to 0.25 mm. There is only one size of
oversized pistons and rings available for service.

Piston Ring Measurement
1 Measure the piston ring end gap using the following
procedure:
a Place the piston ring (1) in the area of the bore where
the piston ring will travel, approximately 25 mm below
the deck surface. Ensure t he ring is square with the
cylinder bore by positioning the ring with the piston
head.
b Measure the end gap of the piston ring with feeler
gauges (2), refer to 5 Specifications.
c If the clearance exceeds t he provided specifications,
the piston rings must be replaced.
d Repeat the procedure for all piston rings.

Figure 6A1 – 478
2 Measure the piston ring side clearance using the
following procedure:
a Roll the piston ring (1) ent irely around the piston ring
groove. If any binding is c aused by the ring groove,
dress the groove with a fine file. If any binding is
caused by a distorted piston ring, replace the ring.
b With the piston ring on the piston, use feeler
gauges (2) to check clearance at multiple locations.
c Compare the measurement s with piston ring side
clearance listed in the spec ifications, refer to
5 Specifications .
d If the clearance is greater than specifications, replace
the piston rings.

Figure 6A1 – 479
3 There is a locating dimple (1) on the compression rings. Install the compression rings with the dimple
facing up.
4 If the new ring does not r educe the clearance to the
correct specification, install a new piston.
5 If the new piston does not meet clearance specifications, the cylinder block may need to be
oversized to 0.25 mm. There is only one size of
oversized pistons and rings available for service.
