1. Set a dial indicator (lever type) with its tip on the gear tooth. 2. Move the gear to measure the backlash, holding its mating gear. 3. If the backlash exceeds the allowable limit, check the oil clearance of the shafts and the gear. 4. If the oil clearance is proper, replace the gear.
1. Measure the tappet O.D. with an outside micrometer. 2. Measure the I.D. of the tappet guide bore with a cylinder gauge, and calculate the oil clearance. 3. If the oil clearance exceeds the allowable limit or the tappet is damaged, replace the tappet.
1. Place the push rod on V blocks. 2. Measure the push rod alignment. 3. If the measurement exceeds the allowable limit, replace the push rod.
1. Measure the rocker arm shaft O.D. with an outside micrometer. 2. Measure the rocker arm I.D. with an inside micrometer, and then calculate the oil clearance. 3. If the oil clearance exceeds the allowable limit, replace the rocker arm and measure the oil clearance again. If it still exceeds… Read More »
1. Place the valve spring on a tester and compress it to the same length it is actually compressed in the engine. 2. Read the compression load on the gauge. 3. If the measurement is less than the allowable limit, replace it.
1. Measure the free length (A) of valve spring with vernier calipers. If the measurement is less than the allowable limit, replace it. 2. Put the valve spring on a surface plate, place a square on the side of the valve spring. 3. Check to see if the entire side is in contact with the… Read More »
1. Apply compound evenly to the valve lapping surface. 2. Insert the valve into the valve guide. Lap the valve onto its seat with a valve flapper or screwdriver. 3. After lapping the valve, wash the compound away and apply oil, then repeat valve lapping with oil. 4. Apply prussian blue to the contact surface… Read More »
