VALVE SEAT INSPECTION
Inspect the valve seat with Prussian blue to deter-
mine where the valve contacts the seat. To do this,
coat valve seat LIGHTLY with Prussian blue then
set valve in place. Rotate the valve with light pres-
sure. If the blue is transferred to the center of valve
face, contact is satisfactory. If the blue is transferred EXHAUST
to top edge of the valve face, lower valve seat with a
15 degrees stone. If the blue is transferred to the bot-
tom edge of valve face raise valve seat with a 65
degree stone (Fig. 110).

ADJUSTMENTS
ENGINE SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT
The right and left support assemblies are slotted to
allow for right/left drive train adjustment in relation
to drive shaft assembly length.
Check and reposition right and left engine support
assemblies as required. Adjust drive train position, if
required, for the following conditions:
• Drive shaft distress: See Group 2, Suspension
and Driveshaft.
• Any front end structural damage (after repair).
• Support Assembly replacement.
ENGINE SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT
(1) Remove the load on the engine motor mounts
by carefully supporting the engine and transmission
assembly with a floor jack.
(2) Loosen the right engine support assembly ver-
tical fasteners.
(3) Loosen the left engine support assembly verti-
cal bolts.
(4) Pry the engine right or left as required to
achieve the proper drive shaft assembly length. Refer
to Group 2, Suspension and Driveshaft for driveshaft
identification and related assembly length measur-
ing.
(5) Tighten right engine support assembly vertical
bolts to 61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.). and tighten left engine
support assembly bolts to 61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.).
(6) Recheck drive shaft length.
