VALVE SEATSNJEM0065S10+Before starting this check, confirm that the dimensions of valve
guides and valves are as specified.
+Apply red lead primer on contacting surfaces of valve seat and
of valve face to examine the conditions of contacting surfaces.
+Check that the paint on contacting surfaces is continuous
along the entire circumference.
+If there are abnormal indications, grind the valve and check the
contact again. If abnormal indications still persist, replace
valve seat.

REPLACING VALVE SEAT FOR SERVICE PARTSNJEM0065S111. 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.
2. Ream cylinder head recess for service valve seat.
Oversize [0.5 mm (0.020 in)]:
Intake 30.500 - 30.516 mm (1.2008 - 1.2014 in)
Exhaust 29.500 - 29.516 mm (1.1614 - 1.1620 in)
Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide
center.
This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.
