(7) Ream the inside of valve guide with ST.
Gently rotate the reamer clockwise while press-
ing it lightly into valve guide, and return it also
rotating clockwise. After reaming, clean valve
guide to remove chips.
CAUTION:
IApply engine oil to the reamer when ream-
ing.
IIf the inner surface of the valve guide is torn,
the edge of the reamer should be slightly
ground with an oil stone.
IIf the inner surface of the valve guide
becomes lustrous and the reamer does not
chips, use a new reamer or remedy the reamer.

A: GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
(1) Before disassembling engine, place it on ST3.

LH
ST3 499817000 ENGINE STAND

(2) All parts should be thoroughly cleaned, paying
special attention to the engine oil passages, pis-
tons and bearings.
(3) Rotating parts and sliding parts such as piston,
bearing and gear should be coated with oil prior to
assembly.
(4) Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant con-
tact the timing belt, clutch disc and flywheel.
(5) All removed parts, if to be reused, should be
reinstalled in the original positions and directions.
(6) Gaskets and lock washers must be replaced
with new ones. Liquid gasket should be used
where specified to prevent leakage.
(7) Bolts, nuts and washers should be replaced
with new ones as required.
(8) Even if necessary inspections have been
made in advance, proceed with assembly work
while making rechecks.

specifications presented in the table.
2) To measure the squareness of the valve spring,
stand the spring on a surface plate and measure
its deflection at the top using a try square.

SEAL
Replace oil seal with new one, if lip is damaged or
spring out of place, or when the surfaces of intake
valve and valve seat are reconditioned or intake
valve guide is replaced.
