  1. Clean top surfaces of pistons and cylinder block . Turn the crankshaft, and bring each piston to top dead center (TDC). Using a gasket scraper, remove all the carbon from the piston surface. Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the cylinder block surface. Using compressed air, blow carbon and oil from the bolt holes. CAUTION: Protect your eyes when using high pressure compressed air. NOTE: Be careful not to scratch the cylinder head contact surface.
  2. Inspect cylinder block for flatness (See «INSPECTION»(ref-159218-S17089288602005060800000) ) .
  3. Clean cylinder head . Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the cylinder block contact surface. NOTE: Be careful not to scratch the cylinder block contact surface. Using a wire brush, remove all the carbon from the combustion chambers. NOTE: Be careful not to scratch the cylinder block contact surface. Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylinder head. Using a valve guide bushing brush and solvent, clean all the guide bushings.
  4. Inspect cylinder head . Inspect for flatness. Using a precision straight edge and a feeler gauge, measure the surface contacting the cylinder block and the manifolds for warpage. Maximum warpage: 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.) If warpage is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder head. Inspect for cracks. Using a dye penetrate, check the combustion chamber, intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder block surface for cracks. If cracked, replace the cylinder head.
  5. Clean valves . Using a gasket scraper, chip off any carbon from the valve head. Using a wire brush, thoroughly clean the valve.
  6. Inspect valve stems and guide bushings . Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the guide bushing. Bushing inside diameter: 5.510 - 5.530 mm (0.2169 - 0.2177 in.) Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of valve stem. Valve stem diameter: Subtract the valve stem diameter measurement from the guide bushing inside diameter measurement. Standard oil clearance: Maximum oil clearance: If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the valve and guide bushing (See «REPLACEMENT»(ref-159218-S37116284652005060800000) ).
  7. Inspect valves . Check the valve is ground to the correct valve face angle. Valve face angle: 44.5° Check that the surface of the valve for wear. If the valve face is worn, replace the valve. Check the valve head margin thickness. Standard margin thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.) Minimum margin thickness: 0.5 mm (0.028 in.) If the margin thickness is less than minimum, replace the valve. Check the valve overall length. Standard overall length: Minimum overall length: If the overall length is less than minimum, replace the valve. Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear. If the valve stem tip is worn, replace the valve.
  8. Inspect and clean valve seats . Using a 45° carbide cutter, resurface the valve seats. Remove only enough metal to clean the seats. Check the valve seating position. Apply a light coat of prussian blue (or white lead) to the valve face. Lightly press the valve against the seat. Do not rotate valve. Check the valve face and seat for the following: If blue appears 360° around the face, the valve is concentric. If not, replace the valve. If blue appears 360° around the valve seat, the guide and face are concentric. If not, resurface the seat. Check that the seat contact is in the middle of the valve face with the following width: 1.0 -1.4 mm (0.039 - 0.055 in.) If not, correct the valve seats as follows: If the seating is too high on the valve face, use 30° and 45° cutters to correct the seat. If the seating is too low on the valve face, use 75° and 45° cutters to correct the seat. Hand-lap the valve and valve seat with an abrasive compound. After hand-lapping, clean the valve and valve seat.
  9. Inspect valve springs . Using a steel square, measure the deviation of the valve spring. Maximum deviation: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.) Maximum angle (Reference): 2° If the deviation is greater than maximum, replace the valve spring. Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the valve spring. Free length: 45.7 mm (1.799 in.) If the free length is not as specified, replace the valve spring. Using a spring tester, measure the tension of the valve spring at the specified installed length.

Wind tape around the tip of the air gun and apply air of approx. 100 kPa (1 kgf/cm 2 ,14 psi) to the port of the camshaft. NOTE: When the oil splashes, wipe it off with a shop rag and the likes. NOTE: Perform this in order to release the lock pin for the maximum delay angle locking. Under the condition of (d), turn the VVT timing sprocket to the advance angel side (the arrow marked direction in the illustration) with your hand. Standard: Must turn NOTE: Depending on the air pressure, the VVT timing sprocket will turn to the advance angle 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. Except the position where the lock pin meets at the maximum delay angle, let the VVT timing sprocket turn back and forth and check the movable range and that there is no disturbance. Standard: Movable smoothly in the range about 30° Turn the VVT timing sprocket with your hand and lock it at the maximum delay angel position.
