Fig. 25 Valve Tip to Valve Spring Seat Dimensions

CAUTION: If more than .5mm (.020 inch) must be ground from the valve tip, check the clearance between the rocker arm and the valve spring retainer if below 1.25mm (.050 inch), grind the rocker arm ears according to the procedure described in Refacing Valves and Valve Seats.

Retainer Clearance

CLEANING

Clean all valve guides, valves and valve spring assemblies thoroughly suitable cleaning solution before reassembling.

VALVE GEAR REASSEMBLY AFTER VALVE SERVICE

(1) Coat valve stems with lubrication oil and insert in cylinder head.

(2) Install new valve stem seals on all valves. The valve stem seals should be pushed firmly and squarely over valve guide. The lower edge of the seal should be resting on the valve guide boss.

CAUTION: When oversize valves are used, the corresponding oversize valve seal must also be used. Excessive guide wear may result if oversize seals are not used with oversize valves.

(3) Install valve spring seats and springs and retainers. Compress valve springs only enough to install locks, taking care not to misalign the direction of compression. Nicked valve stems may result from misalignment of the valve spring compressor.

CAUTION: When depressing the valve spring retainers with Tool C-3422-B the locks can become dislocated. Check to make sure both locks are in their correct location after removing tool.

(4)Check installed height of springs. Measurement is to be taken from the lower edge of the valve spring to its upper edge. Do not include the spring seat or retainer flange. Correct height is 41.2mm to 42.7mm (1.62 to 1.68 inches). If seats have been reground an additional spring seat may be required to maintain correct installed spring height.

(5)Install adjusters, rocker arms in order, and camshaft as previously described, see CamshaftInstall. Check for clearance between the projecting ears (either side of valve tip) of the rocker arms and the valve spring retainers. At least 1.25 mm (.050 inch) clearance must be present, if necessary, the rocker arm ears may be ground to obtain this clearance (Fig. 26).

(6)Checking dry lash. Dry lash is the amount of clearance that exists between the base circle of an installed cam and the rocker arm roller when the adjuster is drained of oil and completely collapsed. Specified dry lash is 0.62 to 1.52 mm (.024 to .060 inch). To completely collapse adjuster for dry lash measurement, pry off retainer cap, dissemble, drain the adjuster of oil, reassemble, and install. After performing dry lash check, refill adjuster with oil (do not reuse retainer cap/s) and allow 10 minutes for adjuster/s to bleed down before rotating cam.

CYLINDER HEAD AND VALVE ASSEMBLY SERVICE−TURBO III

CYLINDER HEAD COVER SEALING

(1) Before installation, clean cylinder head and cover mating surfaces. Make certain rails are flat.

CAUTION: Do not allow oil or solvents to contact the timing belt as they can deteriorate the rubber and cause tooth skipping.

2.2/2.5L ENGINES 9 - 31

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: The Turbo III head gasket is not the same as 2.5L turbo engine head gasket (Fig. 3).

CAUTION: Head bolt diameter is 11mm. These bolts are Unique to this engine application they are not interchangeable with other engines.

The Cylinder head bolts are torqued using a new procedure they should be examined BEFORE reuse. If the threads are necked down the bolts should be replaced. (Fig. 4).

Necking can be checked by holding a scale or straight edge against the threads. If all the threads do not contact the scale the bolt should be replaced.

Fig. 1 Cylinder Head Valve Cover and Gasket

Assembly

(2) Install covers and gasket assembly to head and torque to 12 Nzm (105 in. lbs.).

CYLINDER HEAD

REMOVAL

Refer to Intake and Exhaust Manifold Service in Exhaust Systems and Intake Manifold Group 11 for removal procedure for the intake and exhaust manifolds.

(1)The Timing belt and Solid Mount Compressor Mount Bracket must be removed before the cylinder head can be removed. Refer to procedure outlined in this group for service procedures.

(2)Remove cylinder head bolts.

(3)Cylinder head must be flat within 0.1mm (.004 inch (Fig. 2).

Fig. 2 Checking Cylinder Head Flatness

Fig. 3 Cylinder Head Gaskets

Fig. 4 Checking Bolts for Stretching−Necking

Before installing the bolts, the threads should be cleaned and oiled.

Tighten the cylinder head bolts in the sequence shown in (Fig. 5). Using the 4 step torque turn method, tighten according to the following values:

Fig. 5 Cylinder Head Tightening Sequence

²First All to 61 Nzm (45 ft. lbs.)

²Second All to 88 Nzm (65 ft. lbs.)

²Third All (again) to 88 Nzm (65 ft. lbs.)

²Fourth + 1/4 Turn Do not use torque wrench for this step.

²Bolt torque after 1/4 turn should be over 90 ft. lbs. If not, replace the bolt.

Refer to Intake and Exhaust Manifold Service in Exhaust Systems and Intake Manifold Group 11 for installation procedure.

Refer to Timing Belt and Solid Mount Compressor Mount Bracket service procedures in this group for installations procedures.
