Figure 10-5. Checking Cylinder Head Flatness.
Carefully inspect the valve mechanism parts. Inspect
the valve springs and related hardware for excessive
wear or distortion. Check the valves and valve seat
area or inserts for evidence of deep pitting, cracks, or
distortion. Check clearance of the valve stems in the
guides. See Figure 10-6 for valve details and
specifications.
Figure 10-6. Valve Details.
Hard starting, or loss of power accompanied by high
fuel consumption may be symptoms of faulty valves.
Although these symptoms could also be attributed to
worn rings, remove and check the valves first. After
removal, clean the valve heads, faces, and stems with a
power wire brush. Then, carefully inspect each valve
for defects such as warped head, excessive corrosion,
or worn stem end. Replace valves found to be in bad
condition. A normal valve and valves in bad condition
are shown in the accompanying illustrations.
