NOTE: Whenever a part is worn excessively,
cracked, or damaged in any way, replacement is
necessary.
VALVE ASSEMBLY
When servicing valve assembly, inspect valve seats,
valve stems, valve faces, and valve stem ends for pits,
burn marks, or other signs of abnormal wear.
NOTE: Whenever a valve is out of tolerance, it
must be replaced.
Cleaning/Inspecting Valve Cover
NOTE: If the valve cover cannot be trued, the cyl-
inder head assembly must be replaced.
1. Wash the valve cover in parts-cleaning solvent.
2. Place the valve cover on the Surface Plate covered
with #400 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper. Using light
pressure, move the valve cover in a figure eight
motion. Inspect the sealing surface for any indica-
tion of high spots. A high spot can be noted by a
bright metallic finish. Correct any high spots
before assembly by continuing to move the valve
cover in a figure eight motion until a uniform
bright metallic finish is attained.
