CYLINDER HEAD AND <strong>VALVE</strong> TRAIN<br />

Check the cylinder head for warpage by placing the<br />
head on a precision flat surface. If warped in excess<br />
of .005" (.127mm), replace the head. Slight warpage<br />
can be corrected by placing a sheet of #400 wet /dry<br />
sandpaper on a precision flat surface and rubbing the<br />
head gasket surface in a circular pattern until the entire<br />
gasket surface shows evidence of sanding. A small<br />
amount of honing oil on the sandpaper will make it<br />
easier to slide the head. Always replace the head<br />
gasket and torque the head bolts in 60 inch pound<br />
(6.7 Nm) increments in the numbered sequence<br />
torques in specification section (diag. 23 & 24).<br />

Valves, Springs, And Push Rods<br />
The valves should be checked for proper lash, sealing,<br />
and wear. Valve condition is critical for proper engine<br />
performance. Valve lash should be checked before<br />
removal of the engine head if any of the following<br />
conditions are experienced; a popping is heard through<br />
the intake or exhaust, an engine kickback is<br />
experienced, or when excessive valve train noise is<br />
heard.<br />
Valve lash (between the rocker arm and valve stem)<br />
should be set or checked when the engine is cold. The<br />
piston should be at T.D.C. on the compression stroke<br />
(both valves closed). See specification section.<br />
When servicing the valves, all carbon should be<br />
removed from the valve head and stem. If the valves<br />
have been checked and are in a usable condition, the<br />
valve face should be ground using a valve grinder to a<br />
45 degree angle. If after grinding the valve face the<br />
margin is less than 1/32 of an inch (.794 mm), the<br />
valve should be replaced (diag. 25).<br />
Valves are not identical. Valves marked "EX" or "X"<br />
are installed in the exhaust valve location. Valves<br />
marked "I" are installed in the intake valve location. If<br />
the valves are unmarked, the smaller valve (head) is<br />
installed in the exhaust valve location.<br />
If the spring has dampening coils, the valve spring<br />
should be installed with the dampening coils away from<br />
the valve cap and retainers (diag. 26).<br />
The valve springs should be checked for both ends<br />
being parallel and the free length being at least 1.105"<br />
(28.067 mm) for OHH and OVRM engines, 1.980"<br />
(50.292 mm for OHM, OVM, OHSK, OVXL, and OHV<br />
engines when the valves are removed for service.<br />
Replace the springs if necessary.<br />
The push rods should be checked for straightness and<br />
the ends for wear. If the push rod ends are worn or<br />
damaged, inspect the corresponding rocker arm socket<br />
or valve lifter for wear. Replace if necessary.<br />
