ENGINE OVERHAULING
Cleaning of components
All component must be cleaned with petrol and dried with compressed air.
During this operation inflammable vapours burst out and metal particles may be violently ejected. Consequently, it is
recommended to work in a room free from bare flames or sparks and that the operator wears goggles.
Assemblies
For a good and efficient engine operation, it is essential that all assemblies are within the tolerances prescribed. In fact, a “close” assembly
causes seizures as soon as the moving members heat up; while a “wide” assembly causes vibrations which in addition to being noisy
accelerate the wear of the moving components.
Cylinder head
Remove carbon deposits from the combustion chamber using a rounded
scraper.
Do not use a sharp tool to avoid valve seats and spark plug thread
damaging.
Check the machined surfaces of the cylinder head using a straight edge
and a feeler gauge taking readings at the points shown in the figure. If
the reading at any point is greater than the limit prescribed then regrind
the contact surface with the cylinder. Cylinder head distortion limit: 0.0019
in.
