Inspection

Cylinder Head

Inspect for flatness.

Using a precision straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the surface the contacting the cylinder block and the manifolds for warpage.

Flatness of cylinder head gasket surface

Less than 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.) for total area

Less than 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.) for a section of 100 mm (3.9370 in.) X 100 mm (3.9370 in.)

2.	Inspect for cracks. Check the combustion chamber, intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder block surface for cracks. If cracked, replace the cylinder head.

Valve And Valve Spring

Inspect the valve stems and valve guides.

(1)

Using a caliper gauge, measure the inner diameter of valve guide.

Valve guide inner diameter :

5.500 ~ 5.512 mm (0.2165 ~ 0.2170 in)

(2)

Using a micrometer, measure the outer diameter of valve stem.

Valve stem outer diameter :

Intake : 5.465 ~ 5.480 mm (0.2152 ~ 0.2157 in)

Exhaust : 5.458 ~ 5.470 mm (0.2149 ~ 0.2154 in)

(3)

Subtract the valve stem outer diameter measurement from the valve guide inner diameter measurement.

Valve stem- to-guide clearance :

Intake : 0.020 ~ 0.047 mm (0.0008 ~ 0.0019 in)

Exhaust : 0.030 ~ 0.054 mm (0.0012 ~ 0.0021 in)

If the clearance is greater than specification, replace the valve or the cylinder head.

Inspect the valves.

(1)	Check the valve is ground to the correct valve face angle.

(2)	Check that the surface of valve for wear. If the valve face is worn, replace the valve.

(3)

Check the valve head margin thickness.

If the margin thickness is less than minimum, replace the valve.

Margin

Standard

Intake : 1.1mm (0.0433in)

Exhaust : 1.26mm (0.0496in)

(4)

Check the length of valve.

Valve length

Standard

Intake : 93.15 mm (3.6673 in)

Exhaust : 92.60 mm (3.6457 in)

(5)	Check the surface of valve stem tip for wear. If the valve stem tip is worn, replace the valve.

Inspect the valve seats and guide.

(1)	Check the valve seat for evidence of overheating and improper contact with the valve face. If the valve seat is worn, replace the cylinder head.

(2)	Check the valve guide for wear. If the valve guide is worn, replace the cylinder head.

Inspect the valve springs.

(1)	Using a steel square, measure the out-of-square of valve spring.

(2)

Using a vernier calipers, measure the free length of valve spring.

Valve spring

Standard

Free height : 45.1 mm (1.7755 in)

Out of square : Less than 1.5°

Reassembly

•	Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.

•	Before installing the parts, apply fresh engine oil to all sliding and rotating surface.

•	Replace oil seals with new ones.

Install the valves.

(1)	Install the spring seats.

(2)

Using the SST (09222 - 2B100), push in a new oil seal.

•	Do not reuse old valve stem oil seals.

•	Incorrect installation of the seal could result in oil leakage past the valve guides.

•	Intake valve stem seals are different from exhaust ones in type.

•	Do not reassembly ones in the other's places.

(3)

Install the valve, valve spring and spring retainer, after applying engine oil at the end of each valve.

•	When installing valve springs, the enamel coated side should face the valve spring retainer.

Using the SST (09222 - 3K000, 09222 - 3K100), compress the spring and install the retainer locks.

After installing the valves, ensure that the retainer locks are correctly in place before releasing the valve spring compressor.

•	When installing the SST, use the torque, 1.2kgf.m or less.

3.	Lightly tap the end of each valve stem two or three times with the wooden handle of a hammer to ensure proper seating of the valve and retainer lock.

Install the Mechanical lash adjusters (MLA) .

Check that the MLA rotates smoothly by hand.

•	All the MLAs should be installed in its original position.

Installation

•	Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.

•	Always use a new cylinder head and manifold gasket.

•	Always use new cylinder head bolts. Cylinder head bolts are toque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain clamping force.

•	The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket. Take care not to bend it.

•	Rotate the crankshaft, set the No.1 piston at top dead center (TDC).

Install the cylinder head assembly.

(1)	Before installing, remove the hardened sealant from the cylinder block and cylinder head surface.

(2)

Before installing the cylinder head gasket, apply sealant on the upper surface of the cylinder block and reassemble the gasket within five minutes.

•	Refer to the illustration for applying sealant.

Width : 2.0 ~ 3.0 mm (0.0787 ~ 0.1181 in.)

Position : 1.0 ~ 1.5 mm (0.0394 ~ 0.0591 in.)

Specification : THREE BOND 1217H or LOCTITE 5900H

(3)	After installing the cylinder head gasket on the cylinder block, apply sealant on the upper surface of the cylinder head gasket and reassemble in five minutes.

2.	Place the cylinder head carefully not to damage the gasket.

Install the cylinder head bolts with washers.

(1)	Tighten the 10 cylinder head bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.

Tightening torque :

[29.4 N.m (3.0 kgf.m, 21.7 lb-ft)] + [90°] + [90°]

•	Always use new cylinder head bolts. Cylinder head bolts are toque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain clamping force.

4.	Install the spark plug. (Refer to Engine Electrical System - "Spark Plug")

8.	Install the continuous variable valve timing (CVVT). (Refer to Cylinder Head Assembly - "CVVT & Camshaft")

9.	Install the intake camshaft (A) and exhaust camshaft (B).

10.

Install the camshaft bearing caps with the order below.

Tightening torque :

M6 bolts :

11.8 ~ 13.7 N.m (1.2 ~ 1.4 kgf.m, 8.7 ~ 10.1 lb-ft)

M8 bolts :

18.6 ~ 22.6 N.m (1.9 ~ 2.3 kgf.m, 13.7 ~ 16.6 lb-ft)

11.	Install the timing chain. (Refer to Timing System - "Timing Chain")

12.

Install the exhaust oil control valve (OCV) adapter (A).

Tightening torque :

9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)

13.	Install the other parts in the reverse order of removal.

Perform the following :

•	Refill engine with engine oil.

•	Refill a radiator and a reservoir tank with engine coolant.

•	Inspect for fuel leakage.

–	After assemble the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.

–	Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

•	Bleed air from the cooling system.

–	Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.)

–	Turn Off the engine. Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system.

–	Put radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.

•	Clean battery posts and cable terminals and assemble.
