Cleaning and Inspecting Engine
NOTE: Whenever a part is worn excessively,
cracked, or damaged in any way, replacement is
necessary.
Cylinder Head
1. Using a non-metallic carbon removal tool, remove
any carbon buildup from the combustion chambers
being careful not to nick, scrape, or damage the
combustion chambers or the sealing surfaces.
2. Inspect the spark-plug holes for any damaged
threads.
3. Inspect the cylinder head for flatness using a
straightedge and a feeler gauge. Acceptable war-
CM159A
page must not exceed 0.002 in.
NOTE: If the warpage exceeds specification,
resurface the cylinder head using procedures
identified in step 4.
4. Place the cylinder heads on a Surface Plate cov-
ered with #400 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper. Using
light pressure, move each cylinder head in a figure
eight motion. Inspect the sealing surface for any
FC036
indication of high spots. A high spot can be noted
by a bright metallic finish. Correct any high spots
before assembly by continuing to move the cylin-
der head in a figure eight motion until a uniform
bright metallic finish is attained.
