Diagram showing valve stem installed height measurement point A

A Valve stem installed height

  1. Insert intake and exhaust valves in the head and measure valve stem installed height.

Intake Valve Stem Installed Height:
Standard (New): 48.245 – 48.715mm
Service Limit: 48.965mm

Exhaust Valve Stem Installed Height:
Standard (New): 50.315 – 50.785mm
Service Limit: 51.035mm

  1. If valve stem installed height is over the service limit, replace the valve and recheck. If still over the service limit, replace the cylinder head; the valve seat in the head is too deep.

  • If warpage is less than 0.05mm cylinder head resurfacing is not required.
  • If warpage is between 0.05mm and 0.2mm, resurface cylinder head.
  • Maximum resurface limit is 0.2mm based on a height of 100mm.
