Kia Carnival (2007 year). Manual — part 543

Ensure that the cam bearing caps are installed in the correct location and direction. Refer to the table below.

A : L(LH),R(RH)
B : I(Intake),None(Exhaust)
C : Journal number
D : Front mark

Rotate the crankshaft not to contact the valves to the pistons by making the pistons below 10mm(0.3937in.)
from the top of cylinder block.

7. Install water temperature control assembly.

8. Install timing chain.

9. Check and adjust valve clearance.

10. Install the exhaust manifold.

11. Install the intake manifold.

DISASSEMBLY

Identify MLA, valves and valve springs as they are removed so that each item can be reinstalled in its original
position.

1. Remove MLAs(A).

2. Remove valves.

(1) Using SST(09222-3K000, 09222-3C300), compress the valve spring and remove retainer lock.

(2) Remove the spring retainer.

(3) Remove the valve spring.

(4) Remove the valve.

(5) Using SST(09222-29000), remove the valve stem seal.

Do not reuse old valve stem seals.

3. Remove OCV(A).

INSPECTION

CYLINDER HEAD

1. Inspect for flatness.

Using a precision straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the surface the contacting the cylinder block and the
manifolds for warpage.

Flatness of cylinder head gasket surface
Standard : Less than 0.05mm(0.002in.)[Less than 0.02mm(0.0008in.)/150x150]

Flatness of manifold gasket surface
Standard : Less than 0.03mm(0.001in)/110x110

2. Inspect for cracks.

Check the combustion chamber, intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder block surface for cracks. If cracked,
replace the cylinder head.

VALVE AND VALVE SPRING

1. Inspect valve stems and valve guides.

(1) Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the valve guide.

Valve guide I.D.
Intake / Exhaust : 5.500 ~ 5.512mm (0.216 ~ 0.217in.)

(2) Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of the valve stem.

Valve stem O.D.
Intake : 5.465 ~ 5.480mm (0.2151 ~ 0.2157in.)
Exhaust : 5.458 ~ 5.470mm (0.2149 ~ 0.2153in.)

(3) Subtract the valve stem diameter measurement from the valve guide inside diameter measurement.

Valve stem-to-guide clearance
[Standard]
Intake : 0.020 ~ 0.047mm (0.0008 ~ 0.0018in.)
Exhaust : 0.030 ~ 0.054mm (0.0012 ~ 0.0021in.)
[Limit]
Intake : 0.07mm (0.0027in.)
Exhaust : 0.09mm (0.0035in.)

2. Inspect valves.

(1) Check the valve is ground to the correct valve face angle.

(2) Check that the surface of the 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 : 1.56 ~ 1.86mm(0.06142 ~ 0.07323in.)
Exhaust : 1.73 ~ 2.03mm(0.06811 ~ 0.07992in.)

(4) Check the valve length.

Length
Intake : 105.27mm (4.1445in)
Exhaust : 105.50mm (4.1535in)

(5) Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear.

If the valve stem tip is worn, replace the valve.

3. Inspect valve seats

Check the valve seat for evidence of overheating and improper contact with the valve face.
If the valve seat is worn, replace cylinder head.
Before reconditioning the seat, check the valve guide for wear. If the valve guide is worn, replace cylinder head.
Recondition the valve seat with a valve seat grinder or cutter. The valve seat contact width should be within
specifications and centered on the valve face.

4. Inspect valve springs.

(1) Using a steel square, measure the out-of-square of the valve spring.

(2) Using a vernier calipers, measure the free length of the valve spring.

Valve spring
[Standard]
Free height : 43.86mm (1.7267in.)
