VALVES AND VALVE SPRINGS
6-29
h. Install the valve into the cylinder head.
i. Press the valve through the valve guide and
onto the valve seat to make a clear impres-
sion.
j. Measure the valve seat contact width “c”
again. If the valve seat contact width is out of
specification, reface and lap the valve seat.

EAS2GBB253CHECKING THE VALVE SPRINGS
1. Measure:
• Valve spring free length “a”
Out of specification  Replace the valve
spring.2. Measure:
• Compressed valve spring force “a”
Out of specification  Replace the valve
spring.
3. Measure:
• Valve spring tilt “a”
Out of specification  Replace the valve
spring.
EAS2GBB254CHECKING THE VALVE LIFTERS
1. Check:
• Valve lifter
Damage/scratches  Replace the valve lift-
ers and cylinder head. Free length (intake)

ELECTRIC STARTER
6-39
EAS2GBB263CHECKING THE STARTER MOTOR
1. Check:
•Commutator
Dirt  Clean with 600 grit sandpaper.
2. Measure:
• Commutator diameter “a”
Out of specification  Replace the starter
motor.
3. Measure:
• Mica undercut “a”
Out of specification  Scrape the mica to
the proper measurement with a hacksaw
blade that has been grounded to fit the com-
mutator.
TIP
The mica of the commutator must be undercut
to ensure proper operation of the commutator.
4. Measure:
• Armature assembly resistances (commuta-
tor and insulation)
Out of specification  Replace the starter
motor.

a. Measure the armature assembly resistanc-
es with the pocket tester.b. If any resistance is out of specification, re-
place the starter motor.
