Disassemble Cylinder Heads
NOTE: These engines use a valve stem seal on intake
and exhaust valves. Serial No. 3422000010 and
lower used a seal on intake side only. Always
use new seals when valves are removed from
cylinder head. Replace seals if they are
deteriorated or damaged in any way. Never
reuse an old seal.
1. Remove screws, rocker arms and pivots from
cylinder head(s).
2. Compress valve springs using a valve spring
compressor and remove valve spring keepers.
Remove compressor.
3. With keepers taken out following items can be
removed.
● valve spring retainers
● valve springs
● valve spring caps
● intake and exhaust valves
● valve stem seals (intake valve only)
4. Repeat above procedure for other cylinder head. Do
not interchange parts from one cylinder head with
parts from other cylinder head.
After cleaning, check fl atness of cylinder head and
corresponding top surface of crankcase, using a surface
plate or piece of glass and feeler gauge. Maximum
allowable out of fl atness is 0.076 mm (0.003 in.).
Carefully inspect valve mechanism parts. Inspect valve
springs and related hardware for excessive wear or
distortion. Check valves and valve seat area or inserts
for evidence of deep pitting, cracks, or distortion. Check
clearance of valve stems in guides.
