Figure 9-5. Checking Cylinder Head Flatness.
Carefully inspect the valve mechanism parts. Inspect
the valve springs and related hardware for excessive
wear or distortion. Check the valves and valve seat
area or inserts for evidence of deep pi ing, cracks,
or distortion. Check clearance of the valve stems
in the guides. See Figure 9-6 for valve details and
