Manual Extract: Valve Lapping Procedure

Steps:

1. Apply compound evenly to the valve lapping surface.
2. Insert the valve into the valve guide and lap it onto its seat using a valve flapper or screwdriver.
3. After lapping, clean off the compound and apply oil, then repeat valve lapping with oil.
4. Use Prussian blue on the contact surface to check the seated rate. Repeat lapping if less than 70% is achieved.

Note: Ensure to check the valve recessing and adjust the valve clearance post-assembly.

Valve Spring Specifications

• Factory Specification: 37.0 u2013 37.5 mm (1.46 u2013 1.48 in)
• Allowable Limit: 36.5 mm (1.44 in)

For accurate measurement of the valve spring:

1. Measure the free length using vernier calipers. Replace if below the allowable limit.
2. Check tilt by rotating the spring on a surface plate and gauging against a square.
3. Inspect for any scratches or damage, replacing if necessary.
