Westerbeke 6.5 MCG - VALVE ASSEMBLY INSPECTION

CYLINDER HEAD AND VALVES
Use pliers to remove the valve stem seals. Do not reuse the
stem seals.
CYLINDER HEAD INSPECTION
Before cleaning check the cylinder head for water leaks,
cracks and other possible damage.
Clean by completely removing the oil, scaling, carbon and
sealant After flushing the oil passage, blow air thru to ensure
that no portion of the oil passage is clogged.
To check the cylinder head bottom surface for flatness and
distortion, as indicated in the diagram, use a straight edge
and a feeler gauge. If distortion exceeds the limit correct
by grinding.

Valve StemNalve Seat
If the valve stem is bent or worn, replace the valve. Check
contact between the valve and valve seat by applying a thin
coat ofPrussion Blue (or Redhead) on the valve seat contact
face, then insert the valve into the valve guide and press-fit
the valve on the valve seat. Do not rotate the valve.
Check if the valve seat contact face contacts the center posi-
tion ef the valve contact face. If it is not correct concentric,
correct the valve seat. If the margin is out of the limit, replace
the valve.
