8. Install valve collet.

Compress valve spring with valve spring compressor, attach-
ment and adapter (SST). Install valve collet with magnet
hand.
CAUTION:
When working, take care not to damage valve lifter holes.

tion to check its installed condition.
9. Install valve lifter.

Install it in the original position.
10. Install spark plug tube.

Press-fit spark plug tube as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to cylinder head mounting hole.
b. Apply sealant to area within approximately 12 mm (0.47 in) from edge of spark plug tube press-fit side.

VALVE DIMENSIONS

Check dimensions of each valve. For dimensions, refer to EM-
260, "Valve Dimensions" .

If dimensions are out of the standard, replace valve.
VALVE GUIDE CLEARANCE
Valve Stem Diameter
Measure diameter of valve stem with micrometer.
Valve Guide Inner Diameter
Measure inner diameter of valve guide with bore gauge.
Valve Guide Clearance

3. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130°C (230 to 266°F) by soaking in
heated oil.
4. Provide valve seat cooled well with dry ice. press-fit valve seat into cylinder head.
CAUTION:

Avoid directly touching cold valve seats.

Cylinder head contains heat. When working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.
5. Using valve seat cutter set (commercial service tool) or valve
seat grinder, finish seat to the specified dimensions. Refer to
EM-262, "
Valve Seat" .
CAUTION:
When using valve seat cutter, firmly grip the cutter handle
with both hands. Then, press on the contacting surface all
around the circumference to cut in a single drive. Improper
pressure on with cutter or cutting many different times may
result in stage valve seat.
6. Using compound, grind to adjust valve fitting.
7. Check again for normal contact. Refer to EM-220, "
VALVE SEAT CONTACT" .
VALVE SPRING SQUARENESS

Set try square along the side of valve spring and rotate spring.
Measure the maximum clearance between the top face of spring
and try square.

If it exceeds the limit, replace valve spring.

Remove main bearing caps and bearings, and using scale on
plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.
CRUSH HEIGHT OF MAIN BEARING

When main bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the
specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of bear-
ing must protrude. Refer to EM-233, "
ASSEMBLY" for the tight-
ening procedure.

If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.
CRUSH HEIGHT OF CONNECTING ROD BEARING

When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tight-
ened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings
installed, the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-233,
"ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.

If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.
MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT OUTER DIAMETER

Measure outer diameters (“d1 ”, “d2 ”) at two positions as shown
in the figure.

If reduction appears in “A” range, regard it as “d2 ”.

If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace
main bearing cap bolt with new one.
CONNECTING ROD BOLT OUTER DIAMETER

Install nut to connecting rod bolt, and make sure if the nut can smoothly tighten until the end of screw
thread by hands.

7. Disconnect fuel filler hose and vent hose at the position shown
in the figure.
8. Disconnect EVAP hose at EVAP canister side.
9. Support the lower part of fuel tank with transmission jack.
CAUTION:

Support right and left part of flat bottom plate with pass-
ing board.

Because the height of right and left bottom plate is differ-
ent, horizontally support them with wood plate and things
like that.

Support the position that fuel tank mounting bands do
not engage.
10. Remove fuel tank mounting bands.
11. Supporting with hands, descend transmission jack carefully, and remove fuel tank.
CAUTION:

Make sure that all connection points have been disconnected.

Confirm there is no interference with vehicle.
12. Remove fuel filler tube, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Note to the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Surely clamp fuel hoses and insert hose to the length below.

Be sure hose clamp is not placed on swelled area of fuel tube.

Tighten fuel hose clamp so that the distance between its lugs becomes to the following.

Before fixing fuel tank, temporarily install fuel filler tube.
CAUTION:
Use genuine fuel filler tube mounting bolts or equivalent. Make sure to tighten them to the speci-
fied torque.

To connect quick connector, refer to FL-7, "Quick Connector" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to check for fuel leaks.
1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped), and check connections for leakage by applying fuel pres-
sure to fuel piping.
2. Start engine and rev it up and make sure there are no fuel leaks at the fuel system tube and hose connec-
tions.
