Check the cylinder <strong>head</strong> for warpage by placing the <strong>head</strong><br />
on a precision flat surface. If warped in excess of .005"<br />
(.13 mm) replace the <strong>head</strong>. Slight warpage can be<br />
corrected by placing a sheet of #400 wet /dry sandpaper<br />
on a precision flat surface and rubbing the <strong>head</strong> gasket<br />
surface in a circular pattern until the entire gasket surface<br />
shows evidence of sanding. A small amount of honing oil<br />
on the sandpaper will make it easier to slide the <strong>head</strong>.<br />
Always replace the <strong>head</strong> gasket and torque the <strong>head</strong> bolts<br />
in 50 inch pound increments in the numbered sequence<br />
to 200 inch pounds (22.5 Nm) (diag. 24 & 25).<br />
<strong>Engine</strong> models V50, H50, H60, H70, VH50, VH60, VH70<br />
require a flat and a belleville washer on bolts numbered<br />
1, 3, and 7. Current production HM80 and HM100 use<br />
flat washers only on bolts numbered 2 and 3 in conjunction<br />
with the gas tank mounting bolts. All other <strong>head</strong> bolts on<br />
HM80 and HM100 use a flat and a belleville washer on<br />
each bolt.<br />
<strong>Engine</strong> models V60, V70, TVM125, 140, 195, 220 require<br />
a flat washer and a belleville washer on all <strong>head</strong> bolts.<br />

PISTONS, RINGS, AND CONNECTING RODS<br />
Piston<br />
The piston should be checked for wear by measuring at<br />
the bottom of the skirt 90 degrees from the piston pin<br />
hole with a micrometer. Check the ring side clearance<br />
using a feeler gauge with new ring. Clean all carbon from<br />
the piston top and the ring grooves before measuring.<br />
Visually inspect the piston skirt area for scoring or<br />
scratches from dirt ingestion. If scoring or deep scratches<br />
are evident, replace the piston.<br />
If the cylinder bore needs re-sizing, an oversize piston<br />
will be necessary. Oversize pistons are identified by the<br />
imprinted decimal oversize value imprinted on the top of<br />
the piston (diag. 26).<br />
Rings<br />
After the cylinder bore diameter has been checked and<br />
is acceptable to rebuild, the ring end gap should be<br />
checked using new rings. Place a new compression ring<br />
squarely in the center of the ring travel area. Use the<br />
piston upside down to push the ring down (diag. 28) and<br />
measure the gap with a feeler gauge. The ring end gap<br />
must be within the specification to have adequate oil<br />
control (diag. 29). This procedure will assure correct piston<br />
ring end gap measurement. Ring side clearance should<br />
also be checked with a feeler gauge when using new<br />
rings with an old piston (diag. 27).<br />
Replace the rings in sets and install the piston, rings,<br />
and rod assembly in the cylinder bore with the ring end<br />
gaps staggered. When installing new rings in a used<br />
cylinder, the cylinder wall should be de-glazed using a<br />
commercially available de-glazing tool or hone.<br />
