Valves and Valve Guides Inspection

S6JB0A1416025

Valve Guide
Valve stem-to-guide clearance
Using a micrometer and bore gauge, take diameter
readings on valve stems and guides to check stem-to-
guide clearance.
Be sure to take reading at more than one place along the
length of each stem and guide.
If clearance exceeds limit, replace valve and valve
guide.

Valve stem and valve guide specification

Valve stem end deflection
If bore gauge is not available, check end deflection of
valve stem with a dial gauge instead.
Move stem end in directions (1) and (2) to measure end
deflection.
If deflection exceeds its limit, replace valve stem and
valve guide.

Valve stem end deflection limit
In: 0.14 mm (0.005 in.)
Ex: 0.18 mm (0.007 in.)

Valve
Visual inspection
• Remove all carbon from valves.
• Inspect each valve for wear, burn or distortion at its

face and stem end, as necessary, replace it.

• Inspect valve stem end face for pitting and wear. If

pitting or wear is found there, valve stem end may be
resurfaced, but not too much to grind off its chamber.
When it is worn out too much that its chamber is gone,
replace valve.

Valve head thickness
Measure thickness “a” of valve head. If measured
thickness exceeds limit, replace valve.

Valve head thickness “a” (In and Ex)
Standard: 1.25 – 1.55 mm (0.049 – 0.061 in.)
Limit: 0.9 mm (0.035 in.)

Valve head radial runout
Check each valve for radial runout with a dial gauge and
“V” block. To check runout, rotate valve slowly. If runout
exceeds its limit, replace valve.

Valve head radial runout
Limit: 0.08 mm (0.003 in.)

Seating contact width
Create contact pattern on each valve in the usual
manner, i.e., by giving uniform coat of marking
compound to valve seat and by rotatingly tapping seat
with valve head. Valve lapper (tool used in valve lapping)
must be used.
Pattern produced on seating face of valve must be a
continuous ring without any break, and the width of
pattern must be within specified range.

Standard seating width “a” revealed by contact
pattern on valve face
Intake and Exhaust: 1.0 – 1.4 mm (0.0389 – 0.0551
in.)

Valve seat repair
A valve seat not producing a uniform contact with its
valve or showing width of seating contact that is out of
specified range must be repaired by regrinding or by
cutting and regrinding and finished by lapping.

1) Exhaust valve seat:

Use valve seat cutters (1) to make two cuts as
illustrated in the figure. Two cutters must be used:
the first for making 22

° angle, and the second for

making 45

° angle. The second cut must be made to

produce desired seat width.

Seat width for exhaust valve seat
“a”: 1.0 – 1.4 mm (0.0389 – 0.0551 in.)

2) Intake valve seat:

Use valve seat cutters (1) to make three cuts as
illustrated in the figure. Three cutters must be used:
the 1st for making 22

° angle, the 2nd for making 60°

angle, and 3rd for making 45

° angle. The 3rd cut

(45

°) must be made to produce desired seat width.

Seat width for intake valve seat
“b”: 1.0 – 1.4 mm (0.0389 – 0.0551 in.)

3) Valve lapping:

Lap valve on seat in two steps, first with coarse size
lapping compound applied to face and the second
with fine-size compound, each time using valve
lapper according to usual lapping method.

Cylinder Head Inspection

S6JB0A1416026

• Remove all carbon deposits from combustion

chambers.

NOTE
Do not use any sharp-edged tool to scrape
off carbon deposits. Be careful not to scuff or
nick metal surfaces when decarbonizing. The
same applies to valves and valve seats, too.

• Check cylinder head for cracks on intake and exhaust

ports, combustion chambers, and head surface. Using
a straightedge and thickness gauge, check flatness of
gasketed surface at a total of 6 locations. If distortion
limit is exceeded, correct gasketed surface with a
surface plate and abrasive paper of about #400
(Waterproof silicon carbide abrasive paper): place
abrasive paper on and over surface plate, and rub
gasketed surface against paper to grind off high spots.
Should this fail to reduce thickness gauge readings to
within limit, replace cylinder head.
Leakage of combustion gases from this gasketed joint
is often due to warped gasketed surface: such
leakage results in reduced power output.

Distortion for cylinder head surface on piston side
Limit: 0.03 mm (0.001 in.)

• Distortion of manifold seating faces:

Check seating faces of cylinder head for manifolds,
using a straightedge and thickness gauge, in order to
determine whether these faces should be corrected or
cylinder head replaced.

Distortion for cylinder head surface on intake and
exhaust manifold
Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)

Cylinder Head Bolt
Measure each thread diameter of cylinder head bolt (1)
at “A” on 83.5 mm (2.81 in.) from seat side of flange bolt
and “B” on 115 mm (4.53 in.) from seat side of flange bolt
by using a micrometer (2).
Then calculate difference in diameters (“A” – “B”). If it
exceeds limit, replace with new one.

Cylinder head bolt diameter measurement points
“a”: 83.5 mm (2.81 in.)
“b”: 115 mm (4.53 in.)

Cylinder head bolt diameter difference (deformation)
Limit (“A” – “B”): 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)

Valve Spring Inspection

S6JB0A1416027

Valve Spring Free Length and Preload
Referring to data, check to be sure that each spring is in
sound condition, free of any evidence of breakage or
weakening. Remember, weakened valve springs can
cause chatter, not to mention possibility of reducing
power output due to gas leakage caused by decreased
seating pressure.

Valve spring free length
Standard: 36.83 mm (1.450 in.)
Limit: 35.83 mm (1.411 in.)

Valve spring preload
Standard: 107 – 125 N (10.7 – 12.5 kg) for 31.50 mm
(23.6 – 27.6 lb/1.240 in.)
Limit: 102 N (10.2 kg) for 31.50 mm (22.5 lb/1.240 in.)

Spring Squareness
Use a square and surface plate to check each spring for
squareness in terms of clearance between end of valve
spring and square. Valve springs found to exhibit a
larger clearance than limit must be replaced.

Valve spring squareness
Limit: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)
