VALVE FACE WEAR
Visually inspect each valve face for wear or damage. If any
abnormal wear is found, replace the respective valve with a new
one. Measure the valve head thickness T. If the valve head
thickness is not within the specified value, replace the value with
a new one.
 Valve head thickness T
Service Limit: 0.5 mm (0.02 in)
 09900-20101: Vernier calipers
VALVE STEM DEFLECTION
Lift the valve about 10 mm (0.39 in) from the valve seat. Mea-
sure the valve stem deflection in two directions, "X" and "Y", per-
pendicular to each other, by positioning the dial gauge as
shown. If the deflection measured exceeds the limit, (see below)
then determine whether the valve or the guide should be
replaced with a new one.
 Valve stem deflection (IN & EX)
Service Limit: 0.35 mm (0.14 in)
 09900-20607: Dial gauge (1/100 mm)
09900-20701: Magnetic stand
VALVE STEM WEAR
If the valve stem is worn down to the limit, as measured with a
micrometer, where the clearance is found to be in excess of the
limit indicated replace the valve, if the stem is within the limit,
then replace the guide. After replacing valve or guide, be sure to
re-check the clearance.
 Valve stem O.D.
Standard (IN) : 5.475 – 5.490 mm (0.2156 – 0.2161 in)
(EX) : 5.455 – 5.470 mm (0.2148 – 0.2154 in)
 09900-20205: Micrometer (0 – 25 mm)
VALVE GUIDE SERVICING
• Using the valve guide remover, drive the valve guide out
toward the intake or exhaust rocker arm side.

NOTE:
* Discard the removed valve guide subassemblies.
* Only oversized valve guides are available as replacement
parts. (Part No. 11115-05270)
