Checks and overhaul

Valves and springs

In order to check the springs for possible failure measure the
lengths under load as shown in figure 16.
The permissible tolerance for loads and lengths is ± 10%. If the
figures measured do not fall within these values, the springs
must be renewed.

Rocker arms

Make sure that the facing surfaces between rocker and pin are
not scored and show no signs of seizure. If such marks are en-
countered, renew rocker and pin.
Rocker / pin clearance (fig.17):
Fitting mm
0,03 ÷ 0,06
Rocker axial play (fig.17):
Fitting mm
0,05 ÷ 0,130
Make sure that the rocker arm adjusting screw is not worn and
that the lubrication hole is free of dirt.

Cylinders

Air cooled with cylinder barrels in special cast iron with integral
liners.
Use a dial gauge to check internal diameters (C-D) at three
different heights (fig.18).
Maximum permitted taper (A-B) and ovality (C-D) is 0.06mm.
Diameter of cylinders (fig.18):
KD 425-2
If the diameter of the cylinder does not exceed said values or if
there are slight surface scores on the cylinder, it will be sufficient
to change the piston rings.
Important
• Do not manually hone the cylinder bore surfaces with emery
cloth or other means.
The cross-hatch pattern should be at an angle of 90°÷120°; lines
should be uniform and clear in both directions.
Average roughness must range between 0.5 mm 1 µm.
The cylinder surface which comes into contact with piston rings
should be machined with the plateau method.
If the taper and ovality of the cylinder exceed the values
indicated, then the cylinder and piston must be renewed.
