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.

3. Drive in the new guide until it projects out 10.3 mm (0.406 in).
4. Ream the bore using suitable tool.
Reaming bore:
7.000 - 7.018 mm (0.2756 - 0.2763 in)
COMBUSTION CHAMBER REPLACEMENT
Usually combustion chamber should not be removed.
However, if there are cracks or extensive damage, it should be
replaced.
1. Remove glow plug connecting plate, glow plugs and injection
nozzle.
2. Remove combustion chamber so that cylinder head will not be
damaged.
Be careful not to scratch inside of nozzle hole.
3. Install combustion chamber.
(1) Heat cylinder head 150 to 160ÉC (302 to 320ÉF) in oil.
(2) Align combustion chamber knock pin with cylinder head notch,
and install it into cylinder head using a plastic-tip hammer.
VALVE SEATS
1. Check valve and valve seat for contact.
Coat the valve face with prussian red lead. If contact is wrong,
correct valve seat. If the valve red lead appears 360É around
face, the valve stem and face are concentric. If not, repair or
replace valve.
2. Check valve seats for any evidence of pitting on valve contact
surface, and reseat or replace if worn out excessively.
Correct valve seat surface.
+When repairing valve seat, check valve and valve guide for
wear beforehand. If worn, replace them. Then correct valve
seat.
+Cut with both hands to uniform the cutting surface.

VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses.
The machine depth stop should be set so that boring cannot
continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess in cylinder
head.
2. Ream the cylinder head recess.
Reaming bore for service valve seat
[Oversize 0.5 mm (0.020 in)]:
Intake
40.954 - 40.932 mm (1.6124 - 1.6115 in)
Exhaust
34.954 - 34.932 mm (1.3761 - 1.3753 in)
Reaming should be done to the concentric circles around the
valve guide center so that valve seat will have the correct ®t.
3. Heat cylinder head to a temperature of 150 to 160ÉC (302 to
320ÉF) and press ®t seat until it seats on the bottom.
4. Install valve seat.
When replacing valve seat, valve should also be replaced.
5. Cut or grind valve seat using suitable tool at the speci®ed
dimensions as shown in SDS.
The cutting should be done with both hands for uniform cut-
ting.
6. Apply small amount of ®ne grinding compound to valve contact-
ing face and put valve into guide.
Lap valve against its seat until proper valve seating is obtained.
Remove valve and then clean valve and valve seat.

7. Measure distance from cylinder head surface to intake and
exhaust valves. If speci®ed distance is exceeded, replace
valve(s) or valve seat(s).
Speci®ed distance: mm (in)
Standard
þ0.069 to 0.269 (þ0.0027 to 0.0106)
VALVE DIMENSIONS
1. Check dimensions in each valve. For dimensions, refer to SDS.
2. Correct or replace any valve that is out of tolerance.
3. Valve face or valve stem end surface should be refaced by
using a valve grinder.
When valve head has been worn down to 0.5 mm (0.020 in) in
margin thickness, replace the valve.
Grinding allowance for valve stem tip is 0.2 mm (0.008 in) or
less.
VALVE SPRING SQUARENESS
Check valve spring for squareness using a steel square and sur-
face plate.
If spring is out-of-square ``S'' more than speci®ed limit, replace with
new one.
Out-of-square:
Outer
Less than 1.9 mm (0.075 in)
Inner
Less than 1.6 mm (0.063 in)
VALVE SPRING PRESSURE LOAD
Measure the free length and the tension of each spring. If the
measured value exceeds the speci®ed limit, replace spring. Refer
to SDS.

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.

Step 1:
Measure piston projection.
1) Set dial gauge on cylinder block surface to zero.
2) Set dial gauge at measuring point of piston, being careful not
to disturb its zero setting.
3) Set each piston at its Top Dead Center. With piston held in that
position, measure its projections at four points, M1, M2, M3 and
M4, and record measured values.
Be sure to measure the projection at four points for every cyl-
inder as shown.
Step 2:
Calculate the average value of measured projections for each cyl-
inder.
Step 3:
Calculate the average value of projections for all pistons.
Step 4:
Round off the average value.
Step 5:
Determine the gasket thickness, referring to chart A.

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
