How to check valve and seat recession
Special requirements
By the use of tool No. T6253/312, an indication of valve and seat wear (recession) can be obtained without the
removal of a cylinder head.
The tool is to be used as part of the bridge piece and valve clearance sequence.
Note: The inlet valves are easily checked but as there is insufficient clearance only one exhaust valve can be
checked.
1 Place the tool on the rocker box face around the bolt (A1). Position the legs of the tool above the inlet valve
spring retainers.
2 The clearance between the legs and valve spring retainers indicates the valve life left. A leg touching a valve
spring retainer indicates the need for a cylinder head overhaul.
3 To check the exhaust valve, place the tool around bolt (A2).
Note: As a result of product improvements, the rocker box to cylinder head joint has been improved using a
graphite material which is 0,7 mm thicker than the joint it has replaced. This change covers all 4016-E61TRS
engines.
To check valve seat recession on these engines use a 0,7 mm feeler gauge (A3) in conjunction with the
recession tool (A4).
