Repairing Valve Gear
  Note
t  Cylinder heads with cracks between the valve seats may continue to be used without any reduction in life provided these are slight incipient cracks which are not more than 0.5 mm wide.
t  After installing the camsaft, the engine must not be started for about 30 minutes. The hydraulic bucket tappets must settle (otherwise valves would strike the pistons).
t  After carrying out work on the valve gear, carefully crank engine at least 2 revolutions to ensure that no valve touches the piston when the engine is started.
t  Always replace gasket rings and seals.
t  Removing and installing the tandem pump → Chapter.
