SPECIAL TOOL DESCRIPTION Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture 100-002 (TOOL-4201-C) or equivalent

Scheme 435

1. Use a Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture to measure camshaft end play.
2. Position the camshaft to the rear of the cylinder head.
3. Zero the indicator.
4. Move the camshaft to the front of the cylinder head. Note and record the camshaft end play. If camshaft end play exceeds specifications, install new camshaft and recheck end play. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure. If camshaft end play exceeds specification after camshaft installation, install a new cylinder head. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure.

Scheme 436

1. Inspect camshaft lobes for pitting or damage in the contact area. Minor pitting is acceptable outside the contact area. If excessive pitting or damage is present, install new components as necessary. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure.

SPECIAL TOOL DESCRIPTION Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture 100-002 (TOOL-4201-C) or equivalent

Scheme 437

1. Use a Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture to measure camshaft intake/exhaust lobe lift. Rotate the camshaft and subtract the lowest indicator reading from the highest indicator reading to figure the camshaft lobe lift. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure.

SPECIAL TOOL DESCRIPTION Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture 100-002 (TOOL-4201-C) or equivalent

Scheme 438

1. Use a Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture to measure the camshaft runout. Rotate the camshaft and subtract the lowest indicator reading from the highest indicator reading. For additional information, refer to the «SPECIFICATION CHART»(ref-232214-S15475004412006051600000) in the appropriate engine service information. If out of specification, install new components as necessary. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure.

Scheme 439

1. Measure the crankshaft end play. Use a Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture to measure crankshaft end play.
2. Position the crankshaft to the rear of the cylinder block.
3. Zero the indicator.
4. Move the crankshaft to the front of the cylinder block. Note and record the crankshaft end play. If crankshaft end play exceeds specifications, install a new crankshaft thrust washer or crankshaft thrust main bearing. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure.

Scheme 440

1. Measure the diameter of each intake and exhaust valve stem at the points shown. Verify the diameter is within specification. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure. If out of specification, install new components as necessary. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure.

Scheme 441

1. Inspect the following valve areas: The end of the stem for grooves or scoring. The valve face and the edge for pits, grooves or scores. The valve head for signs of burning, erosion, warpage and cracking. The valve margin for wear.

Scheme 442

1. Use a ball gauge to determine the inner diameter of the valve guides in 2 directions at the top, middle and bottom of the valve guide.
2. Measure the ball gauge with a micrometer. Refer to the appropriate service information for the specification.
3. If the valve guide is not within specifications, ream the valve guide and install a valve with an oversize stem or remove the valve guide and install a new valve guide.

Scheme 443

1. Measure the free length of each valve spring. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure. If out of specification, install new components as necessary. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure.

Scheme 444

1. Measure the out-of-square on each valve spring. Turn the valve spring and observe the space between the top of the valve spring and the square. Install a new valve spring if out of square. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure.

SPECIAL TOOL DESCRIPTION Pressure Gauge, Valve/Clutch Spring 303-006 (TOOL-6513-DD) or equivalent

Scheme 445

Scheme 446

1. Use a Valve/Clutch Spring Pressure Gauge to check the valve spring for correct strength at the specified valve spring length. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure. If out of specification, install new components as necessary. Refer to the appropriate service information for the procedure.

SPECIAL TOOL DESCRIPTION Straight Edge 303-D039 (D83L-4201-A) or equivalent

Scheme 447

Scheme 448

1. Use a straight edge and a feeler gauge to inspect the cylinder head for flatness. If the cylinder head is distorted, install a new cylinder head.

SPECIAL TOOL DESCRIPTION Feeler Gauge Set 303-D027 (D81L-4201-A) or equivalent Straight Edge 303-D039 (D83L-4201-A) or equivalent

Scheme 449

Scheme 450

1. Use a straight edge and a feeler gauge to inspect the cylinder block for flatness. If the cylinder block is distorted, install a new short block assembly.

SPECIAL TOOL DESCRIPTION Straight Edge 303-D039 (D83L-4201-A) or equivalent

1. Clean the exhaust manifold using a suitable solvent. Use a plastic scraping tool to clean the gasket sealing surfaces.
2. Using the special tool (or a precision straight edge) and a feeler gauge, check the exhaust manifold sealing surface for warpage. If the warpage is greater than 0.76 mm (0.0299 in), install a new exhaust manifold.
