1. Inspecting and repairing cylinder head and valve mechanism
1.1 Measuring distortion of the bottom surface
of the cylinder head
&$87,21
Refacing of cylinder head should be kept to an abso-
lute minimum.
Excessive grinding of the cylinder head may result in
defects such as defective combustion and stamping
(contact between piston and valve).
With a straight edge placed on the bottom face of the
cylinder head, measure the bottom face distortion using a
feeler gauge. If the measurement exceeds the limit, grind the
bottom face using a surface grinder.

1.2 Measuring clearance between rocker arm
and rocker shaft
Measure the inside diameter of the rocker arm and outside
diameter of the rocker shaft.
Replace the rocker arm or rocker shaft if the clearance
exceeds the limit.

and rocker shaft
1.3 Measuring perpendicularity and free length
of valve spring
Measure the perpendicularity and free length of the valve
spring. If the limit is exceeded, replace the valve spring with
a new one.
