3. Acceptable diameter range (exhaust valve) must
be within specifications.
Measuring Valve Face/Seat Width
1. Using a micrometer, measure the width of the
valve face.
ATV-1004
2. Acceptable width must be at or above specifica-
tions.
Measuring Valve Face Radial
Runout
1. Mount a dial indicator on the surface plate; then
place the valve stem on a set of V blocks.
2. Position the dial indicator contact point on the out-
side edge of the valve face; then zero the indicator.

3. Rotate the valve in the V blocks.
4. Maximum runout must not exceed specifications.
Measuring Valve Guide/Valve Stem
Deflection (Wobble Method)
1. Mount a dial indicator and base on the surface
plate; then place the cylinder head on the surface
plate.
2. Install the valve into the cylinder head; then posi-
tion the dial indicator contact point against the out-
side edge of the valve face. Zero the indicator.

3. Push the valve from side to side; then from top to
bottom.
4. Maximum “wobble” deflection must not exceed
specifications.
Measuring Valve Guide
(Inside Diameter)
1. Insert a snap gauge 1/2 way down into each valve
guide bore; then remove the gauge and measure it
with a micrometer.
2. Acceptable inside diameter range must be within
specifications.
3. If a valve guide is out of tolerance, the cylinder
head must be replaced.
Servicing Valves/Valve
Guides/Valve Seats
If valves, valve guides, or valve seats require servicing
or replacement, Arctic Cat recommends that the com-
ponents be taken to a qualified machine shop for ser-
vicing.
Measuring Rocker Arm
(Inside Diameter)
1. Using a dial calipers, measure the inside diameter
of the rocker arm.
2. Acceptable inside diameter range must be within
specifications.
Measuring Rocker Arm Shaft
(Outside Diameter)
1. Using a micrometer, measure the outside diameter
of the rocker arm shaft.
2. Acceptable outside diameter range must be within
specifications.
CAUTION
If valves are discolored or pitted or if the seating sur-
face is worn, the valve must be replaced. Do not
attempt to grind the valves or severe engine damage
may occur.
