After cleaning, check fl atness of cylinder head and corresponding top surface of crankcase using a surface plate or
piece of glass and feeler gauge. Maximum allowable out of fl atness is 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.).
Carefully inspect valve mechanism parts. Inspect valve springs and related hardware for excessive wear or distortion.
Check valves and valve seat area or inserts for evidence of deep pitting, cracks, or distortion. Check clearance of
valve stems in guides.
Hard starting or loss of power accompanied by high fuel consumption may be symptoms of faulty valves. Although
these symptoms could also be attributed to worn rings, remove and check valves fi rst. After removal, clean valve
heads, faces, and stems with a power wire brush.
Then, carefully inspect each valve for defects such as a warped head, excessive corrosion, or a worn stem end.
Replace valves found to be in bad condition.
