Processing of the cylinder head seating surface
Fig. 2.46. The value of the machining allowance
Allowance for machining the cylinder head a = not less than 108.25 mm (Fig. 2.46).
Note: After finishing the seating surface, the valves must be lowered accordingly (treat the valve seat ring), otherwise the valves will collide with the piston. In doing so, observe the minimum permissible size.
Checking the axial displacement of the camshaft
Fig. 2.47. Checking the axial displacement of the camshaft
Take measurements with the camshaft housing removed and the cover installed.
Tolerance limit max. 0.40 mm

Note: Valves must not be machined. Only lapping is permitted.
Valve seat machining
Note: When repairing engines with leaky valves, it is not enough to treat or replace the valve seats and valves. Especially in engines with a long service life, it is necessary to check the valve guides for wear.
Note: Valve seats should only be reworked to the extent that a flawless working surface is achieved. Before machining, calculate the maximum allowable machining allowance. If the machining allowance is exceeded, the hydraulic clearance adjustment function in the valve drive may be impaired (hydraulic compensators), which will entail replacing the cylinder head.
Note: If the valve is replaced during repair, use a new valve for measurements.
Fig. 2.49. Measuring the distance between the end of the valve stem and the top edge of the cylinder head
Measure the distance between the end of the valve stem and the top edge of the cylinder head (Fig. 2.49).
Calculate the maximum allowable machining allowance based on the measured distance and the minimum allowable dimension.
Minimum dimensions
- Inlet valve - 7.6 mm,
- Exhaust valve - 7.6 mm
Measured distance minus minimum dimension = maximum allowance for machining.
Example
- Measured distance - 8.0 mm
- Minimum size - 7.6 mm
- Max. allowance for processing - 0.4 mm (8.0 mm - 7.6 mm).
Note: The maximum allowable machining allowance is shown in the valve seat machining drawings as dimension "b".

Intake valve seat machining
- a = ∅ 28.7 mm;
- b = max. allowance for machining;
- c = 1.5–1.8 mm;
- Z = lower edge of cylinder head;
- a = 45° valve seat angle;
- b = 30° upper correction chamfer;
- g = 60° lower correction chamfer.
Fig. 2.51. Diagram of the exhaust valve processing
Exhaust valve seat machining
- a = ∅ 25.0 mm;
- b = max. allowance for machining;
- c = approx. 1.8 mm;
- Z = lower edge of cylinder head;
- a = 45° valve seat angle;
- b = 30° upper correction chamfer;
- g = 60° lower correction chamfer.
