D Distortion of manifold seating faces:
Check seating faces of cylinder head for manifolds, using a
straightedge and thickness gauge, in order to determine whether
these faces should be corrected or cylinder head replaced.
Limit of distortion: 0.10 mm (0.004 in.)
Valve Springs
D Referring to data given below, check to be sure that each spring
is in sound condition, free of any evidence of breakage or weak-
ening. Remember, weakened valve springs can cause chatter,
not to mention possibility of reducing power output due to gas
leakage caused by decreased seating pressure.

D Spring squareness:
Use a square and surface plate to check each spring for square-
ness in terms of clearance between end of valve spring and
square. Valve springs found to exhibit a larger clearance than limit
given below must be replaced.
Valve spring squareness limit: 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)
