[4] SERVICING
(1) Cylinder Head and Valves
Top Clearance
1. Remove the cylinder head. (Do not attempt to remove the
cylinder head gasket.)
2. Move the piston up and stick a strip of fuse [1.5 mm dia.
(0.059 in. dia.), 5.0 to 7.0 mm long (0.20 to 0.27 in. long)] on the
piston head at three positions with grease so as to avoid the
intake valve and the exhaust valve and the combustion
chamber ports.
3. Lower the piston, and install the cylinder head and tighten the
cylinder head screws to the specified torque.
4. Turn the flywheel until the piston exceeds top dead center.
5. Remove the cylinder head, and measure the thickness of the
squeezed fuses.
6. If the measurement is not within the factory specifications,
check the oil clearance between the crankpin and the crankpin
bearing and between the piston pin and the small end bushing.
NOTE
• After checking the top clearance, be sure to assemble the
cylinder head with a new cylinder head gasket.

Cylinder Head Surface Flatness
1. Clean the cylinder head surface.
2. Place a straightedge on the cylinder head's four sides and two
diagonal as shown in the figure.
3. Measure the clearance with a thickness gauge.
4. If the measurement exceeds the allowable limit, correct it with a
surface grinder.
IMPORTANT
• Do not place the straightedge on the combustion chamber.
• Be sure to check the valve recessing after correcting.
