Cylinder heads, piston and valves
Every 10.000 (6000 miles) the cylinder head should be removed decarbonizing. The
combustion chamber and piston crowns
are best cleaned with a blunt scraper and a wire brush and washed off with petrol. Check
that the valve seats are properly sealed by pouring some petrol through the inlet and
exhaust ducts and observing if any seeps through between seats and valves. If so, the
valves should be dismantled and the seats ground in with emery paste. At the end of this
operation the head and valves should be thoroughly cleaned with petrol and compressed
air to remove all traces of the abrasive. When re-assembling the heads, the nuts and hold
down studs should be tightened in a crossed sequence (See 1-2-3-4-5-6 in fig. 22) using
a torque wrench set at 27 ft. lbs.
