REMOVING THE VALVES
The following procedure applies to all of the
valves and related components.

der head (e.g., valves, valve springs, valve
seats), make sure the valves properly seal.
1. Remove:
• Valve lifter “1”
• Valve pad “2”
NOTE:

and valve pad so that they can be reinstalled in
their original place.

Leakage at the valve seat → Check the
valve face, valve seat, and valve seat width.
Refer to "CHECKING THE VALVE SEATS"
