(d) Check the valve overall length.
Standard overall length:Intake94.95 mm (3.7382 in.)
Exhaust 96.90 mm (3.8150 in.)
Minimum overall length:
Intake94.45 mm (3.7185 in.)
Exhaust 96.40 mm (3.7953 in.)
If the overall length is less than minimum, replace the valve.
(e) Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear. If the valve stem tip is worn, resurface the tip with a grinder
or replace the valve.
NOTICE: Do not grind off more than minimum.
8. INSPECT AND CLEAN VALVE SEATS
(a) Using a 45
carbide cutter, resurface the valve seats.
Remove only enough metal to clean the seats.
(b) Check the valve seating position. Apply a light coat of prussian blue (or white lead) to the valve
face. Lightly press the valve against the seat. Do not rotate
valve.
(c) Check the valve face and seat for the following: wIf blue appears 360
around the face, the valve is
concentric. If not, replace the valve.
w If blue appears 360
around the valve seat, the guide
and face are concentric. If not, resurface the seat.
w Check that the seat contact is in the middle of the valve
face with the following width:
1.0 ± 1.4 mm (0.039 ± 0.055 in.)
If not, correct the valve seats as follows:
(1) If the seating is too high on the valve face, use 30 5 and 45 5
cutters to correct the seat.

seat.
w Check that the seat contact is in the middle of the
valve face with the following width:
Intake 1.0±1.4 mm (0.039±0.055 in.)
Exhaust 1.2±1.6 mm (0.047±0.063 in.)
If not, correct the valve seats as follows:
(1) If the seating is too high on the valve face, use 15 5
and 45 5 cutters to correct the seat.
(2) If the seating is too low on the valve face, use 75 5
and 45 5 cutters to correct the seat.
