(3) Turn the cylinder head upside down and
place the ST as shown in the figure.
ST 18251AA040 VALVE GUIDE ADJUSTER
(4) Before installing a new valve guide, make
sure that neither scratches nor damages exist
on the inner surface of valve guide holes in cyl-
inder head.
(5) Put a new valve guide, coated with sufficient
oil, in cylinder, and insert the ST1 into valve
guide. Press in until the valve guide upper end
is flush with the upper surface of ST2.

(7) Ream the inside of valve guide using ST.
Put the reamer in valve guide, and rotate the
reamer slowly clockwise while pushing it lightly.
Bring the reamer back while rotating it clock-
wise. After reaming, clean the valve guide to re-
move chips.
ST 499765900 VALVE GUIDE REAMER
NOTE:
•Apply engine oil to the reamer when reaming.
•If the inner surface of valve guide is damaged,
the edge of reamer should be slightly ground with
oil stone.
•If the inner surface of valve guide becomes lus-
trous and the reamer does not chip, use a new
reamer or remedy the reamer.
(8) Recheck the contact condition between
valve and valve seat after replacing the valve
guide.
4. INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE

5. VALVE SPRING
1) Check the valve springs for damage, free length,
and tension. Replace the valve spring if it is not
within the standard value 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 of spring using a try square.
6. INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE OIL
SEAL
In the following case, pinch and remove the oil seal
from valve using pliers, and then replace it with a
new one.
•When the lip is damaged.
•When the spring is out of the specified position.
•When readjusting the surfaces of intake valve
and valve sheet.
•When replacing the intake valve guide.
1) Set the cylinder head on ST1.
2) Press-fit the oil seal to the specified dimension
indicated in the figure using ST2.

NOTE:
•Apply engine oil to oil seal before press-fitting.
•When press-fitting the oil seal, do not use a ham-
mer or strike in.
7. VALVE LIFTER
1) Check the valve lifter visually.
2) Measure the outer diameter of valve lifter.
Outer diameter:
32.959 — 32.975 mm (1.2976 — 1.2982 in)
3) Measure the inner diameter of valve lifter hole of
cylinder head.
Inner diameter:
32.994 — 33.016 mm (1.2990 — 1.2998 in)
NOTE:
If difference between outer diameter of valve lifter
and inner diameter of valve lifter hole is out of the
standard or offset wearing is emitted, replace the
cylinder head.

E: INSPECTION
1. ARMATURE
1) Check the commutator for any sign of burns of
rough surfaces or stepped wear. If it has minor
wear, correct it by using sand paper (#300).
2) Run-out test
Check the commutator for run-out, and then re-
place if it exceeds the limit.
Commutator run-out:
Standard
3.1 mm (0.1220 in)
Service limit
Less than 3.8 mm (0.1496 in)
3) Armature short-circuit test
Check the armature for short circuit by placing it on
growler tester. Hold an iron sheet (thickness
gauge, etc. ) against the armature core while slowly
rotating the armature. A short-circuited armature
will cause the iron sheet to vibrate and to be attract-
ed to core. If the iron sheet is attracted or vibrates,
the armature, which is short-circuited, must be re-
placed or repaired.
4) Armature discontinuity test
Using a circuit tester, touch one probe to the Arma-
ture and the other to commutator. No continuity is
normal. If there is continuity, the armature is
grounded.
Replace the armature if it is grounded.
2. OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
Inspect the teeth of pinion for wear and damage.
Replace if it is damaged. Rotate the pinion in the
right direction of rotation (counterclockwise). It
should rotate smoothly. But in the opposite direc-
tion, it should be locked.
CAUTION:
Do not clean the overrunning clutch with oil to
prevent grease from flowing out.
3. BRUSH AND BRUSH HOLDER
1) Brush length
Measure the brush length, and then replace if it ex-
ceeds the service limit.
Replace if abnormal wear or cracks are noticed.

4. BRUSH
1) Measure the length of each brush. If wear ex-
ceeds the service limit, replace the brush. Each
brush has the service limit mark (A) on it.
Brush length:
Service limit (1)
5.0 mm (0.197 in)
Standard (2)
18.5 mm (0.728 in)
2) Checking brush spring for proper pressure
Using a spring pressure indicator, push the brush
into the brush holder until its tip protrudes 2 mm
(0.08 in). Then measure the pressure of brush
spring. If the pressure is less than 2.2 N (224 g, 7
91 oz), replace the brush spring with a new one.
The new spring must have a pressure of 4.8 to 6.0
N (489 to 612 g, 17.26 to 21.58 oz).
5. BEARING (FRONT SIDE)
Check the front ball bearing. If the resistance is felt
while rotating, or abnormal noise is heard, replace
the ball bearing
