CYLINDER HEAD DISTORTION
Warpage of surface:
Less than 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
If beyond the speci®ed limit, replace it or resurface it.
Resurfacing limit:
The resurfacing limit of cylinder head is determined by the
cylinder block resurfacing in an engine.
Amount of cylinder head resurfacing is ``A''.
Amount of cylinder block resurfacing is ``B''.
The maximum limit is as follows:
A + B = 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
Nominal cylinder head height:
139.9 - 140.1 mm (5.508 - 5.516 in)
VALVE GUIDE CLEARANCE
1. Insert the valve stem into the valve guide and move it back,
forth and slide it.
If valve stem makes a clatter and moves back and forth exces-
sively out of line, or if it does not slide well, replace valve or
valve guide, or both.
2. Install valve stem into the valve guide.
3. Measure the de¯ection.
Stem to guide de¯ection limit:
0.1 mm (0.004 in)
(Half of dial gauge reading)
4. If it exceeds the limit, check valve to valve guide clearance.
(1) Measure valve stem diameter and guide inner diameter.
(2) Check that clearance is within the speci®cation.
Valve to valve guide clearance limit:
0.1 mm (0.004 in)
(3) If it exceeds the limit, replace valve or valve guide.
VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT
1. Heat cylinder head 150 to 160ÉC (302 to 320ÉF) in oil.
2. Remove the guide with suitable tool.

VALVE LIFTER
1. Check contact and sliding surfaces for wear or scratches.
2. Check diameter of a valve lifter.
Outer diameter:
34.960 - 34.975 mm (1.3764 - 1.3770 in)
3. Check valve lifter guide bore.
Bore diameter:
34.998 - 35.018 mm (1.3779 - 1.3787 in)
Standard clearance:
0.023 - 0.058 mm (0.0009 - 0.0023 in)
If valve lifters are noisy, check valve lifter.
(1) Depress plunger forcibly with your ®nger.
If it moves about 1 mm (0.04 in), it indicates air is inside valve lifter.
(2) Reinstall valve lifter.
(3) Bleed air by running engine at 2,400 rpm under no-load for
about 20 minutes.
CAUTION:
When camshaft is removed to install, remove or inspect
hydraulic valve lifters, do not start engine for at least 30 min-
utes after reinstalling camshaft. (Wait until hydraulic valve lift-
ers have reached their set lengths.) Before starting engine,
rotate crankshaft by hand to ensure pistons do not interfere
with valves.
(4) Next check to ensure all air is bled. [Refer to step (1) above.]
(5) If there is still air, replace valve lifter.

Adjusting
Adjust valve clearance while engine is cold.
1. Turn crankshaft. Position cam lobe upward on camshaft for
valve that must be adjusted.
2. Place Tool (A) around camshaft as shown in ®gure.
Before placing Tool (A), rotate notch toward center of cylinder
head. (See ®gure.) This will simplify shim removal later.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage cam surface with Tool (A).
3. Rotate Tool (A) (See ®gure.) so that valve lifter is pushed down.
4. Place Tool (B) between camshaft and valve lifter to retain valve
lifter.
CAUTION:
+Tool (B) must be placed as close to camshaft bracket as
possible.
+Be careful not to damage cam surface with Tool (B).
5. Remove Tool (A).
6. Remove adjusting shim using a small screwdriver and a mag-
netic ®nger.
7. Determine replacement adjusting shim size using the following
formula.
+Use a micrometer to determine thickness of removed shim.
+Calculate thickness of new adjusting shim so valve clearance
comes within speci®ed values.
R = Thickness of removed shim
N = Thickness of new shim
M = Measured valve clearance
S = Standard valve clearance
