INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF BASIC ENGINE

1. Inspecting and repairing cylinder head and valve mechanism
1.1 Measuring clearance between rocker arm
and rocker shaft
Measure the inside diameter of the rocker arm and outside
diameter of the rocker shaft.
Replace the rocker arm or rocker shaft if the clearance
exceeds the limit.
Measuring rocker arm inside diameter and rocker shaft
outside diameter
1.2 Measuring valve stem outside diameter and
valve guide inside diameter
Measure the diameter at the top and bottom ends at right
angles to the outer and inner surfaces, since valve stems and
valve guides are more likely to wear at both ends. If the
outside diameter is less than the limit, or the clearance
exceeds the limit, replace either the valve or the valve guide
with a new one.
