5. Measure:
● Runout (valve stem)
Out of specification → Replace.
NOTE:
● When installing a new valve always replace
the guide.
● If the valve is removed or replaced always
replace the oil seal.
6. Eliminate:
● Carbon deposits
(from the valve face and valve seat)
7. Inspect:
● Valve seats
Pitting/wear → Reface the valve seat.
Runout limit:
0.01 mm (0.0004 in)
8. Measure:
● Valve seat width a
Out of specification → Reface the valve
seat.
Valve seat width:
Intake:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm (0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
<Limit>: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
Exhaust:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm (0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
<Limit>: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
Measurement steps:
● Apply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) b
to the valve face.
● Install the valve into the cylinder head.
● Press the valve through the valve guide
and onto the valve seat to make a clear
pattern.
● Measure the valve seat width. Where the
valve seat and valve face made contact,
blueing will have been removed.
● If the valve seat is too wide, too narrow, or
the seat is not centered, the valve seat
must be refaced.
