CYLINDER HEAD
NOTE - Refer to Figure 5 during the following
procedures:
1.
Turn cylinder head upside down and insert new
washers (Item 12), exhaust valve springs (Item
9), exhaust valves (Item 10), and exhaust valve
seats (Item 11). Tighten exhaust valve seats to
torque valve specified in TORQUE CHART In
this Section.
2.
With head still positioned upside down, Insert
new washers (Item 12), inlet valve seats (Item
16), inlet valves (Item 13), inlet valve springs
(Item 15) and inlet cages (Item 14). Inlet valves
and springs must be centered to insure the valve
is not tightened between inlet valve seat and
cage. Tighten valve cage to specified torque
valve using valve cage tool SE-2613 as shown in
Figure 6. Refer to TORQUE CHART in this
Section.
UNLOADER
1.
Install new O-ring seals between flanges on
unloader pins. (Refer to Figure 4.)
2.
