|
|
| (3) |
Subtract the valve stem outer diameter measurement from the valve guide inner diameter measurement.
Valve stem- to-guide clearance
Intake : 0.020 ~ 0.047mm (0.0008 ~ 0.0019in)
Exhaust : 0.030 ~ 0.054mm (0.0012 ~ 0.0021in)

Check the valve is ground to the correct valve face angle. |
| (2) |
Check that the surface of valve for wear. If the valve face is worn, replace the valve. |
| (3) |
Check the valve head margin thickness.
If the margin thickness is less than minimum, replace the valve.
Margin
Standard
Intake : 1.10mm (0.0433in)
Exhaust : 1.26mm (0.0496in)

|
| 3. |
Inspect the valve seats.
| (1) |
Check the valve seat for evidence of overheating and improper
contact with the valve face. If the valve seat is worn, replace the
cylinder head. |

Refill a radiator and a reservoir tank with engine coolant. |
| • |
Inspect for fuel leakage. |
| - |
After assemble the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do
not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately
two seconds and fuel line pressurizes. |
| - |
Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line. |
| • |
Bleed air from the cooling system. |
| - |
Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.) |
| - |
