Flatness of cylinder head gasket surface Standard : Less than 0.03mm(0.0012in.) Limit : 0.05mm ( 0.0020in.)
2. | Inspect for cracks. Check the combustion chamber, intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder block surface for cracks. If cracked, replace the cylinder head.
VALVE AND VALVE SPRING
1. | Inspect valve stems and valve guides.
(1) | Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter or the valve guide.
(2) | Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of the valve stem.
(3) | Subtract the valve stem diameter measurement from the valve guide inside diameter measurement. Valve stem-to-guide clearance
[Standard] Intake : 0.02 ~ 0.05mm (0.0008 ~ 0.0020in.) Exhaust : 0.035 ~ 0.065mm (0.0014 ~ 0.0026in.) [Limit] Intake : 0.1mm (0.0040in.) Exhaust : 0.13mm (0.0051in.)
If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the valve and valve guide.
2. | Inspect valves.
(1) | Check the valve is ground to the correct valve face angle.
(2) | Check that the surface of the valve for wear. If the valve face is worn, replace the valve.
(3) | Check the valve head margin thickness. If the margin thickness is less than minimum, replace the valve.
Margin [Standard] Intake : 1.15mm(0.0453in.) Exhaust : 1.35mm(0.0531in.) [Limit] Intake : 0.8mm(0.0315in.) Exhaust : 1.0mm(0.040in.)
(4) | Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear. If the valve stem tip is worn, replace the valve.
3. | Inspect valve seats Check the valve seat for evidence of overheating and improper contact with the valve face. Replace the seat if necessary. Before reconditioning the seat, check the valve guide for wear. If the valve guide is worn, replace it, then recondition the seat. Recondition the valve seat with a valve seat grinder or cutter. The valve seat contact width should be within specifications and centered on the valve face.
4. | Inspect valve springs.
(1) | Using a steel square, measure the out-of-square of the valve spring.
(2) | Using a vernier calipers, measure the free length of the valve spring.
Valve spring [Standard] Free height : 48.86mm (1.9236in.) Load : 18.8kg/39 mm (41.45lb/1.535in.) [Limit] Free height : -1.0mm(-0.0394in.) Out-of-square : 3°
If the free length is not as specified, replace the valve spring.
CAMSHAFT
1. | Inspect cam lobes. Using a micrometer, measure the cam lobe height.
Cam height [Standard value] Intake : 44.618mm (1.7566in.) Exhaust : 44.518mm (1.7527in.) [Limit] Intake : 44.518mm (1.7527in.) Exhaust : 44.418mm (1.7487in.)
If the cam lobe height is less than minimum, replace the camshaft.
2. | Inspect camshaft journal clearance.
(1) | Clean the bearing caps and camshaft journals.
(2) | Place the camshafts on the cylinder head.
(3) | Lay a strip of plastigage across each of the camshaft journal.
(4) | Install the bearing caps. (See page EM - 50)
Do not turn the camshaft.
(5) | Remove the bearing caps.
(6) | Measure the plastigage at its widest point.
Bearing oil clearance [Standard value] : 0.02 ~ 0.061mm (0.0008 ~ 0.0024in.) [Limit] : 0.1mm (0.0039in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the camshaft. If necessary, replace the bearing caps and cylinder head as a set.
(7) | Completely remove the plastigage.
(8) | Remove the camshafts.
3. | Inspect camshaft end play.

Camshaft end play [Standard value] : 0.1 ~ 0.2mm(0.004 ~ 0.008in.)
If the end play is greater than maximum, replace the camshaft. If necessary, replace the bearing caps and cylinder head as a set.
(3) | Remove the camshafts.
CVVT ASSEMBLY
1. | Inspect CVVT assembly.
(1) | Check that the CVVT assembly will not turn.
(2) | Apply vinyl tape to all the parts except the one indicated by the arrow in the illustration.
(3) | Wind tape around the tip of the air gun and apply air of approx. 100kpa(1kgf/cm², 14psi) to the port of the camshaft. (Perform this order to release the lock pin for the maximum delay angle locking.)
When the oil splashes, wipe it off with a shop rag and the likes.
(4) | Under the condition of (3), turn the CVVT assembly to the advance angle side (the arrow marked direction in the illustration) with your hand. Depending on the air pressure, the CVVT assembly will turn to the advance side without applying force by hand. Also, under the condition that the pressure can be hardly applied because of the air leakage from the port, there may be the case that the lock pin could be hardly released.
(5) | Except the position where the lock pin meets at the maximum delay angle, let the CVVT assembly turn back and forth and check the movable range and that there is no disturbance.
Standard: Movable smoothly in the range about 20°
(6) | Turn the CVVT assembly with your hand and lock it at the maximum delay angle position.
REASSEMBLY
Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled. Before installing the parts, apply fresh engine oil to all sliding and rotating surfaces. Replace oil seals with new ones.
1. | Install valves.
(1) | Install the spring seats.
(2) | Using SST(09222-22001), push in a new oil seal.
Do not reuse old valve stem seals. Incorrect installation of the seal could result in oil leakage past the valve guides.
(3) | Install the valve, valve spring and spring retainer.
Place valve springs so that the side coated with enamel faces toward the valve spring retainer and then installs the retainer.
(4) | Using the SST(09222-28000, 09222-28100), compress the spring and install the retainer locks. After installing the valves, ensure that the retainer locks are correctly in place before releasing the valve spring compressor.
(5) | Lightly tap the end of each valve stem two or three times with the wooden handle of a hammer to ensure proper seating of the valve and retainer lock.
2. | Install MLAs. Check that the MLA rotates smoothly by hand.
