from the combustion chamber side.
Valve guide replacer: 9-8523-1212-0
2. Apply engine oil to the outside of the valve guide.
Using the special tool, drive in a new valve guide
from cylinder head upper face side, and check the
valve guide height.
Valve guide replacer: 9-8523-1212-0
Height: 8.0 mm (0.315 in)
NOTE: If the valve guide has been removed, both the
valve and the valve guide must be replaced as a set.

Valve Contact Width
1. Check the valve contact faces for roughness and
unevenness. Make the valve contact surfaces
smooth.
2. Measure the valve contact width.
If the measured value exceeds the specified limit,
the valve seat insert must be replaced.
Inlet
Standard: 2.1 mm (0.0827 in)
Limit: 2.6 mm (0.1024 in)
Exhaust

Valve Seat Insert Replacement
Valve Seat Insert Removal
1. Arc weld the entire inside circumference of the
valve seat insert.
2. Allow the valve seat insert to cool for a few minutes.
This will invite contraction and make removal of the
valve seat insert easier.
3. Use a screwdriver to pry the valve seat insert free.
Take care not to damage the cylinder head.
4. Carefully remove carbon and other foreign material
from the cylinder head insert bore.

Valve Seat Insert Installation
1. Carefully place the attachment (1) (having a smaller
outside diameter than the valve seat insert) on the
valve seat insert (2).
Legend
(1) Attachment
(2) Valve Seat Insert
(3) Bench Press
NOTE: The smooth side of the attachment must contact
the valve seat insert.
2. Use a bench press (3) to gradually apply pressure
to the attachment and press the valve seat insert
into place.
Note: Do not apply an excessive amount of pressure
with the bench press. Damage to the valve seat insert
will result.
Valve Seat Insert Correction
1. Remove the carbon from the valve seat insert
surface.
2. Use a valve cutter (15°, 45° and 75° blades) to
minimize scratches and other rough areas. This will
bring the contact width back to the standard value.
Remove only the scratches and rough areas. Do
not cut away too much. Take care not to cut away
unblemished areas of the valve seat surface.
Valve Seat Angle: 45°NOTE: Use an adjustable valve cutter pilot.
Do not allow the valve cutter pilot to wobble inside the
valve guide.
3. Apply abrasive compound to the valve seat insert
surface.
4. Insert the valve into the valve guide.
5. Turn the valve while tapping it to fit the valve seat
insert.
6. Check that the valve contract width is correct.
7. Check that the valve seat insert surface is in
contact with the entire circumference of the valve.

VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
1. Valve clearance should be inspected and adjusted
while the engine is cool.
2. The tightening of the camshaft bearing cap and
camshaft carrier assembly should be checked
before inspecting and adjusting valve clearance.
INSPECTION
1. Remove cylinder head noise insulator cover and
cylinder head cover.
Refer to “Cylinder Head” in this manual.
2. Disconnect all harness connecters of the injector
and remove harness assembly.
3. Drain oil from oil rail assembly.
4. Remove injector clamp nuts and fixing bolts to take
out injector assembly.
5. Loosen oil rail bolts, remove oil rail assembly.
6. Set cylinder No.1 to the TDC at the compression
stroke. Make sure that there is play in cylinder No.1
tappets on inlet and exhaust sides and that there is
no play in cylinder No.4 tappets.
7. Measure valve clearance at No.1 TDC (Refer to the
black circles indicated in the illustration).
Standard Valve clearance:
Intake valve: 0.15 mm (0.0059 in) ± 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
Exhaust valve: 0.25 mm (0.0098 in) ± 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
8. Turn the crankshaft one turn to set No.4 cylinder
TDC at the compression stroke.
9. Measure valve clearance at No.4 TDC (Refer to the
black circles indicated in the illustration).
Standard Valve clearance:
Intake valve: 0.15 mm (0.0059 in) ± 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
Exhaust valve: 0.25 mm (0.0098 in) ± 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
10. If measured value is outside standard value,
readjust the valve clearance.
ADJUSTMENT
For valve clearance adjustment, follow the procedure
given below.
1. Set cylinder No.1 or No.4 to the TDC at the
compression stroke.
Set the valve clearance adjusting tool on the tappet
requiring adjustment.
After making sure of the correct setting of the
special tool, depress the tappet by turning the bolt.
Valve Clearance Adjusting Tool: 5-8840-2590-0
NOTE: Before depressing the tappet, set the tappet
notch in the direction where adjuster can be easily
taken out.
2. Take out the adjuster using a small screw driver and
finger magnet.
