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 0.076 mm (0.003 in.).
Carefully inspect valve mechanism parts. Inspect valve
springs and related hardware for excessive wear or
distortion. Check valves and valve seat area or inserts
for evidence of deep pitting, cracks, or distortion.
Check clearance of valve stems in guides. See valve
details and specifi cations.
Hard starting, or loss of power accompanied by high
fuel consumption may be symptoms of faulty valves.
Although these symptoms could also be attributed to
worn rings, remove and check valves fi rst. After removal,
clean valve heads, faces, and stems with a power wire
brush. Then, carefully inspect each valve for defects
such as warped head, excessive corrosion, or worn stem
end. Replace valves found to be in bad condition.
