(2) Cylinder Head and Valves
Top Clearance
1. Remove the cylinder head.
2. With the piston at TDC, use grease to affix three or four
plastigauges of a diameter 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) × 5.0 to 7.0 mm
(0.20 to 0.27 in.) long to the crown of the piston; keep the
gauges away from the intake valve and combustion chamber
fittings.
3. Take the piston to an intermediate position, install the cylinder
head and tighten the head bolts to the specified torque.
4. Turn the crankshaft so the piston goes through TDC.
5. Remove the cylinder head and measure the thickness of the
plastigauges.
6. If they are out of spec, check the oil clearance of the crank pin
journal and piston pins.

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 feeler gauge.
4. If the measurement exceeds the allowable limit, correct it with a
surface grinder.
IMPORTANT
• Be sure to check the valve recessing after correcting.

Cylinder Head Flaw
1. Prepare an air spray red check.
2. Clean the surface of the cylinder head with the detergent (2).
3. Spray the cylinder head surface with the red permeative liquid
(1). Leave it five to ten minutes after spraying.
4. Wash away the red permeative liquid on the cylinder head
surface with the detergent (2).
5. Spray the cylinder head surface with the white developer (3).
6. If flawed, it can be identified as red marks.
