7. SERVICING

[1]  CYLINDER HEAD AND VALVES

Top Clearance

1. Remove the cylinder head.

2. With  the  piston  at  TDC,  use  grease  to  affix  three  or  four

plastigauges  (1)  of  a  diameter  1.5  mm  (0.059  in.)  ×  5.0  to

7.0 mm (0.20 to 0.27 in.) long to the crown of the piston; keep

the  gauges  away  from  the  intake  valve  and  combustion

chamber fittings.

3. Take the piston to an intermediate position, install the cylinder

head and tighten the head screws to the specified torque.

4. Turn the crankshaft so the piston goes through TDC.

5. Remove  the  cylinder  head  and  compare  the  width  of  the

crushed plastigauges (2) with the scale (3).

6. If they are out of spec, check the oil clearance of the crank pin,

journals and piston pin.

NOTE

• Top clearance = Width of the crushed plastigauge (2).

Cylinder Head Surface Flatness

1. Clean the cylinder head surface.

2. Put a straightedge on the cylinder head.

3. Measure the clearance with a feeler gauge at the 6 places (see

the figure).

4. If  the  measurement  is  more  than  the  allowable  limit,  make  it

straight with a surface grinder.

IMPORTANT

• Do not put a straightedge on the combustion chamber.
• Examine the valve recessing after you correct.
