CYLINDER HEAD

If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide

may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop

after hydraulic pressure rises.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including

engine oil and engine coolant.

• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.

• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec-

ified level, if necessary.

• Summary of the inspection items:

*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

3. Remove the valve collet using Tools.

CAUTION:

When working, take care not to damage valve lifter holes.

4. Remove the valve spring retainer, valve spring and valve spring

seat.

5. Inspect the valve guide clearance. Refer to

EM-82, "Inspection

After Disassembly"

.

6. Push the valve stem to the combustion chamber side, and remove the valve.

• Identify the installation positions, and store them without mixing them up.

7. Remove the valve oil seal using Tool.

8. Replace the valve seat if necessary. Refer to

EM-82, "Inspection After Disassembly"

.

9. Replace the valve guide if necessary. Refer to

EM-82, "Inspection After Disassembly"

.

10. Remove the spark plug tube, as necessary.

• Remove the spark plug tube out of the cylinder head using suitable tool.

CAUTION:

• Do not damage the cylinder head.

• Do not remove the spark plug tube unless absolutely necessary. Once removed, the spark plug

tube will be deformed and cannot be reused.

ASSEMBLY

1. Install the valve guide if necessary. Refer to

EM-82, "Inspection After Disassembly"

.

2. Install the valve seat if necessary. Refer to

EM-82, "Inspection After Disassembly"

.

3. Install the valve oil seal using Tool.

• Apply new engine oil on the new valve oil seal joint and seal

lip.

• Install the valve oil seal to the specified height (H).

4. Install the valves in their original position.

5. Install the valve spring seats.
6. Install the valve springs.

• Install the narrow pitch end (paint mark side) to the cylinder

head side.

7. Install the valve spring retainers.

8. Install the valve collet using Tools.

CAUTION:

When working, take care not to damage valve lifter holes.

9. Install the valve lifters.

• Install the removed parts in their original locations.

• If installing new lifters, select the correct size lifter for proper valve clearance. Refer to

EM-19, "Valve

Clearance"

.

10. Install the spark plug tube if necessary, following the procedure below.
a. Remove any old liquid gasket adhering to the cylinder-head spark plug tube hole.
b. Apply liquid gasket to area within approximately 12 mm (0.47 in) from the edge of the spark plug tube

press-fit side.

Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to

GI-21, "Recommended Chemical Prod-

ucts and Sealants"

.

c.

Press-fit the spark plug tube to the specified height (H) using

suitable tool.

CAUTION:

• When press-fitting, take care not to deform the spark plug

tube.

• After press-fitting, wipe off any liquid gasket protruding

onto the cylinder-head upper face.

11. Install the spark plugs. Refer to

EM-17, "Removal and Installa-

tion"

.

2. Measure the bottom surface of the cylinder head for distortion in

six directions as shown, using suitable tools.

• If measurement exceeds the limit, replace the cylinder head.

VALVE DIMENSIONS

• Check the dimensions of each valve. Refer to

EM-118, "Standard

and Limit"

.

• If the dimensions are out of the standard, replace the valve.

VALVE GUIDE CLEARANCE

Valve Stem Diameter

Measure the diameter of the valve stem using suitable tool.

Valve Guide Inside Diameter

Measure the inside diameter of the valve guide using suitable tool.

Valve Guide Clearance

• (Valve guide clearance) = (Valve guide inside diameter) – (Valve stem diameter).

• If the calculated value exceeds the limit, replace valve and/or valve guide. When the valve guide must be

replaced, follow the valve guide replacement procedure.
