Valve seat width:
Intake:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm
(0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
<Limit>: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
Exhaust:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm

to the valve face.
• Install the valve into the cylinder head.
• Press the valve through the valve guide
and onto the valve seat to make a clear

• Measure the valve seat width. Where the
valve seat and valve face made contact,
