INSTALLATION
Before installation, remove old liquid gasket from mating surface of all liquid gasket applied parts.
1. Install cylinder head gasket.

Cylinder head gasket to be installed is selected by its thickness through the following procedure.
–When replacing gasket alone
 Install a gasket with same thickness as that of the one removed.
 Identify the thickness of gasket by the number of cut-outs on
the rear RH side.
*: Measured with head bolts tightened
 Gasket thickness can be identified at the location shown in
the figure by the numbers of cut-outs before removal.
–When the following parts have been repaired/replaced:

With cylinder block upper surface and/or crankshaft pin journal ground

With cylinder block, pistons, connecting rods, and/or crankshaft replaced
a. Set piston at a point close to TDC.
b. Set the dial gauge at the location as shown in the figure. Turning
crankshaft gradually, set the gauge scale to “0” where the piston
protrusion is maximized.
c. Move the dial gauge stand so that the tip of dial gauge can con-
tact cylinder block. Read the difference.
d. Measure two points from each cylinder in order to obtain each
mean value of them. Choose a properly thick gasket corre-
sponding the highest number of the four values.

*: Measured with head bolts tightened
2. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with the tube presser
(special service tool: WS39930000) as shown in the figure.
A: Apply bead so that it does not protrude into oil passage.
B: Minimize the overlapping area of the bead, with start and end
areas of bead as shown in the figure.
Apply so that the portion marked * comes at an external loca-
tion but cannot be viewed externally after engine is assembled.
3. Install cylinder head assembly.

Tighten bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure
according to the following procedure:
a. Apply engine oil to bolt threads and seat surfaces.
b. Tighten all bolts.
c. Tighten 180 degrees to 185 degrees [target: 180 degrees]
(angle tightening).
d. Loosen completely in reverse order of that shown in the figure.
e. Tighten all bolts.
f. Tighten 90 degrees to 95 degrees [target: 90 degrees] (angle
tightening).
g. Tighten another 90 degrees to 95 degrees [target: 90 degrees]
(angular tightening).
CAUTION:

When the angle wrench (special service tool) is not used, paint an alignment mark on the head
of cylinder head bolt and cylinder head surface before tightening. Check the angle with a pro-
tractor.

head.
5. Install glow plug.
CAUTION:

To avoid damage, glow plugs should be removed only when required.

Handle with care to avoid applying shock. When dropped from approx. 10 cm (3.94 in) or higher,
always replace with a new one.

When removing valve guide, replace it with oversized [0.2 mm (0.0008 in)] valve guide.
1. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130°C (230 to 266°F) in oil bath.
2. Using the valve guide drift (commercial service tool), tap valve
guides out from the combustion chamber side.
CAUTION:
Cylinder head contains heat, when working, wear protective
equipment to avoid getting burned.

4. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130°C (230 to 266°F) in oil bath.
5. Using the valve guide drift (commercial service tool), press fit
valve guides from camshaft side, referring to the dimension
shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Cylinder head contains heat, when working, wear protective
equipment to avoid getting burned.
6. Using the valve guide reamer (commercial service tool), perform
reaming to the press-fitted valve guides.
Valve Seat Contact

Before starting this check, confirm that the dimension of valve
guide and valves are as specified.

Apply red lead primer on contacting surfaces of valves seat and
of valve face to examine the conditions of contacting surfaces.

Make sure 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 malfunction indications still persist, replace
valve seat.
Valve Seat Replacement
When removing valve seat, replace it with oversized [0.5 mm (0.020 in)] valve seat.
1. 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. Refer to EM-240, "
Va l v e S e a t" .

2. Ream cylinder head recess diameter for service valve seat.

Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide center.

This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.
3. Heat cylinder head to approximately 110 to 130°C (230 to
266°F) in oil bath.
4. After cooling valve seats sufficiently with dry ice, press fit it to
cylinder head.
CAUTION:

Do not touch the cooled valve seats directly by hand.

Cylinder head contains heat, when working, wear protec-
tive equipment to avoid getting burned.
5. Using the valve seat cutter set (commercial service tool), finish
processing referring to the dimensions shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
When using the valve seat cutter set, grasp cutter handle
with both hands, press cutter onto contacting face all
around, and cut thoroughly. If cutter is pressed unevenly or
repeatedly, the valve seat surface may be damaged.
Grind to obtain the dimensions indicated in the figure. Refer to

8. Use the depth gauge to measure the distance between the
mounting surface of cylinder head spring seat and the valve
stem end. If the distance is shorter than specified, repeat step 5
above to adjust it. If it is longer, replace valve seat with a new
one.
Valve Spring Square

Position the try square to valve spring, turn the spring, and mea-
sure the maximum clearance value between top surface of
spring and the try square.

If it exceeds the limit, replace valve spring.
Valve Spring Dimensions and Valve Spring Pressure Load

Using valve spring tester, check the following.

If out of the standard, replace the valve spring.Valve seat resurface limit “L”:

WARNING:

Situate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.

Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.

For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in
PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:

Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

Do not start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cool enough.

If items or work required are not covered by the engine main body section, refer to the applicable
sections.

Always use the support point specified for lifting.

Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for
unavoidable reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool
before starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.

For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-36, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand" .
