SERViCE MANUAL
VALVES AND SEATS
Aii Modeis
37.
Intake and exhaust valves are not interchange-
able.
Intake valves seat directly in the cylinder head
and exhaust valves seat on renewable seat inserts.
Inserts are available in oversizes of 0.006 inch (0.15
mm) and 0.016 inch (0.40 mm). Valve seat angle for
both intake and exhaust valves is 44 degrees. Valve
face angle for both intake and exhaust valves is 45
degrees. This provides a
1
degree interference angle
between valves and seats. Valve stem seals are used
on all valves and valve rotators are used on all valves.
When removing valve seat inserts, use the proper
seat puller or use a pre-cup puller and expanding
screw. DO NOT attempt to drive a chisel or similar
tool under insert as the counterbore will be damaged.
Freeze new valve seat inserts to a temperature of
-76° F (-60° C) before installing.
Check the valves and seats against the following
specifications:

CAUTION:
Due to ciose clearance between valves
and pistons, severe damage can result from insert-
ing feeier gage between vaive stem and vaive lever
(rocker arm) with engine running. DO NOT attempt
to adjust tappet gap with engine running.
