CYLINDER HEAD
Cylinder Head
  1. Clean head gasket mating surface. Clean carbon from combustion chambers. Use care not to damage
     surfaces. Check cylinder head for cracks, burrs, nicks and warpage.
  2. Check cylinder head warpage. Resurface cylinder head if warpage exceeds specification. See
     CYLINDER HEAD table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. DO NOT machine more than .010" (.25
     mm) from original cylinder head surface.
Valve Springs
                CAUTION: DO NOT install valve spring spacers unless necessary. Using more
                         spacers than required can result in spring breakage or worn
                         camshaft lobes.
  1. Measure valve spring installed height from surface of cylinder head spring pad to underside of spring
     retainer. If installed height is greater than specification, a shim can be installed between cylinder head and
     valve spring to obtain correct height. See VALVES & VALVE SPRINGS table under ENGINE
     SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Inspect valve spring free length and pressure. Replace valve spring if free length and pressure are not
     within specification. See VALVES & VALVE SPRINGS table.
Different types of valve stem oil seals are used on intake and exhaust valves. Use Valve Stem Seal Installer
(T90T-6571-A) to install NEW valve stem seals. Ensure seal bottoms on valve guide. Oversized seals must be
installed when using oversized valves.
Valve Guides
                CAUTION: Always grind valve seat after valve guide has been reamed or service
                         bushing has been installed.
  1. Valve guides must be reamed for an oversize valve if valve stem oil clearance exceeds specification. See
     CYLINDER HEAD table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Valves are available in .008" (.20 mm)
     and .016" (.41 mm) oversize.
  2. If oversize valves or oversize valve stem seals are not available, valve guide may be reamed to use a
     service bushing. Always use reamers in proper sequence (smallest first).
Valve Seat
Ensure valve seat angle, seat width and seat runout are within specification. See CYLINDER HEAD table
under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Valve seats must be ground when valve guide is reamed or replaced.
Replacement information is not available from manufacturer.

Valves
  1. Grind valve face to 44-degree angle. Ensure head diameter, valve face runout, stem diameter and valve
     margin are within specification. See VALVES & VALVE SPRINGS table under ENGINE
     SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Oversize valves are available in .008" (.20 mm) and .016" (.41 mm). When servicing valve stem tip, DO
     NOT remove more than .010" (.25) from end of valve stem.
Grind valve seat to 45-degree angle. If seat is too wide after grinding, use a 30-degree stone to lower seat, or a
60-degree stone to raise seat. See CYLINDER HEAD table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
Ensure pistons and rods are installed in cylinder from which they were removed. Note direction of connecting
rod installation on piston before removal. Ensure arrow on piston dome is facing front of engine, and
connecting rod oil squirt hole is pointed toward center of engine. See Fig. 33.
Fitting Pistons
Measure cylinder bore out-of-round, taper and piston-to-cylinder bore clearance. Measure with components at
about 70°F (21°C). If measurements are not within specification, hone or bore cylinders and fit suitable pistons.
See CYLINDER BLOCK and PISTONS, PINS & RINGS tables under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
Piston Rings
  1. Select rings for bore diameter. Place ring in cylinder bore in which it will be installed. Using piston to
     square ring in bore, place ring below normal ring wear area. Measure ring end gap. If gap is too small, file
     material from end of ring. If ring gap exceeds specification, try another ring set. See PISTONS, PINS &
     RINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Check side clearance of rings after installing on piston. Ensure clearance is within specification around
     entire circumference. Replace piston and/or rings if clearance is not within specification. See PISTONS,
     PINS & RINGS table. Ensure rings are properly spaced on piston before installing pistons into cylinder.
     See Fig. 34.
