Servicing Valves/Valve Guides/Valve
Seats
If valves, valve guides, or valve seats require servicing or
replacement, Arctic Cat recommends that the compo-
nents be taken to a qualified machine shop for servicing.
Measuring Rocker Arm

1. Using a dial calipers, measure the inside diameter of
the rocker arm.
2. Acceptable inside diameter range must be within
specifications.
Measuring Rocker Arm Shaft
(Outside Diameter)
1. Using a micrometer, measure the outside diameter of
the rocker arm shaft.
2. Acceptable outside diameter range must be within
specifications.
Installing Valves
1. Apply grease to the inside surface of the valve seals;
then place a lower spring seat and valve guide seal
over each valve guide.

2. Insert each valve into its original valve location.
3. Install the valve springs with the painted end of the
spring facing away from the cylinder head.
NOTE: If the paint is not visible, install the ends of
the springs with the closest wound coils toward the
head.

PISTON ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Whenever a piston, rings, or pin are out of
tolerance, they must be replaced.
Cleaning/Inspecting Piston
1. Using a non-metallic carbon removal tool, remove
any carbon buildup from the top of the piston.
2. Inspect the piston for cracks in the piston pin, boss,
top, and skirt areas.
3. Inspect the piston for seizure marks or scuffing. If
piston is scored or galled, replace it with a new one.
4. Inspect the perimeter of each piston for signs of
“blowby” indicated by dark discoloration. “Blowby”
is caused by worn piston rings, excessive carbon in
ring grooves, or an out-of-round cylinder.
Removing Piston Rings
1. Starting with the top ring, slide one end of the ring
out of the ring-groove.
CAUTION
If valves are discolored or pitted or if the seating sur-
face is worn, the valve must be replaced. Do not attempt
to grind the valves or severe engine damage may occur.
