12-2-64 OVERHAUL

6. Cylinder head can be refaced to 0.50 mm (0.02 

in) max. below head height.

7. Remove carbon deposits from exhaust  valve 

guide using a 8.70 mm (0.34 in) diameter 
reamer  inserted from combustion face side of  
cylinder head. 

NOTE: Modified inlet valves, exhaust valves 
and valve guides were fitted to 4.0 litre engines 
from the following engine numbers: 55D 
05678A; 56D 50788A and 97D 05505A and are 
fitted to all 4.6 litre engines. 

8. Modified inlet valves may be identified by 

measuring the distance 'A' from the valve head 
face to the top of the undercut on the valve 
stem:

l

Early valves = 29.5 to 30.5 mm (1.16 to 1.20 
in)

l

Later valves = 32.5 to 33.5 mm (1.28 to 1.32 
in)

9. Modified exhaust valves may be identified as 

follows:

l

Early valves 'A' – Chrome finish

l

Later valves 'B' – Black nitrided finish

10. Modified valve guides are 5 mm (0.211 in) 

shorter than the early type, the overall length is 
now 57 mm (2.24 in); the reduction in length 
being the distance the guide protrudes into the 
combustion chamber side of the cylinder head.

NOTE: The modified valves and guides may be 
fitted to 4.0 litre engines prior to the above 
numbers in cylinder sets. Early type valves will 
continue to be supplied for early 4.0 litre 
engines but if valve guides are found to be 
worn, the later valves and guides must be fitted.
