Valves
1. Inspect stem of each valve for wear. Use microme-
ter to measure outside diameter of stem. See Fig-
ure 15.
Minimum dimension for intake valve is 7.980 mm
(0.3142 in.). Minimum dimension for exhaust valve
is 7.975 mm (0.3140 in.).
2. Inspect valves for cracks, burned faces, and distor-
tion. Inspect seat face of valves for wear and dam-
age.
3. Measure thickness of valve head. Minimum
thickness for intake valve is 0.5 mm (0.020 in.).
Minimum thickness for exhaust valve is 1.0 mm
(0.040 in.).
If valves need grinding, correct surface angle is 30
for both intake and exhaust valves.
