Inspection and Service
After cleaning, check
fl
atness of cylinder head and
corresponding top surface of crankcase, using a surface
plate or piece of glass and feeler gauge. Maximum
allowable out of
fl
atness is 0.1 mm (0.0039 in.).
Carefully inspect valve mechanism parts. Inspect valve
springs and related hardware for excessive wear or
distortion. Check valves and valve seats for evidence
of deep pitting, cracks, or distortion. Check running
clearance between valve stems and guides.
