3. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD
A. Inspect for flatness
Using a precision straight edge and thickness gauge,
measure the surfaces contacting the cylinder block
and the manifolds for warpage.
Maximum warpage:
Cylinder block side
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
Manifold side
0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
If warpage is greater than maximum, replace the cylin±
der head.
B. Inspect for cracks
Using a dye penetrant, check the combustion cham±
bers, intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder block
surface for cracks.
If cracked, replace the cylinder head. D. Clean cylinder head

cylinder head. C. Clean valve guide bushings
Using a valve guide bushing brush and solvent, clean
all the guide bushings.

Standard margin thickness:
0.8 ± 1.2 mm (0.031 ± 0.047 in.)
Minimum margin thickness:
0.5 mm (0.020 in.)
If the margin thickness is less than minimum, replace
the valve. 7. INSPECT AND GRIND VALVES
(a) Grind the valve enough to remove pits and carbon.
(b) Check that the valve is ground to the correct valve
face angle.
Valve face angle:
44.5
(g) Using SST and a hammer, tap in a new guide bushing
until the snap ring makes contact with the cylinder
head.
SST 09201± 70010
(h) Using a sharp6 mm reamer, ream the guide bushing
to obtain the standard specified clearance (See page
EG1±57) between the guide bushing and valve stem. (f) Gradually heat the cylinder head to 80 ±100
C (117

E. Inspect camshaft gear spring
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free distance
between the spring ends.
Free distance:
22.5 ± 22.9 mm (0.886 ± 0.902 in.)
If the free distance is not as specified, replace the gear
spring.
F. Inspect camshaft journal oil clearance
(a) Clean the bearing caps and camshaft journals.
(b) Place the camshafts on the cylinder head.
(c) Lay a strip of Plastigage across each of the camshaft
journals. D. Inspect camshaft bearings
Check that bearings for flaking and scoring.
If the bearings are damaged, replace the bearing caps
and cylinder head as a set.
(d) Install the bearing caps.
(See step 4 on pages EG1±69 to 71)
