Check that the valve is ground to the correct valve face angle.
Check the surface of valve for wear.
If the valve face is worn, replace the valve.
Check the valve head margin thickness. If the margin thickness is less than specification, replace the valve.

If the valve stem tip is worn, replace the valve.
Inspect the valve seats.
Check the valve seat for evidence of overheating and improper contact with the valve face. If the valve seat is worn, replace the cylinder head.
Check the valve guide for wear. If the valve guide is worn, replace the cylinder head.
Inspect the valve springs.
Using a steel square, measure the out-of-square of valve spring.

Valve spring
Standard

Load : 16.9 ~ 18.7 kg / 32.0 mm (37.2 ~ 41.2 lb / 1.2598 in)
26.7 ~ 29.0 kg / 23.8 mm (58.9 ~ 63.9 lb / 0.9370 in)
Out of square : Less than 1.5°
If the load is not as specified, replace the valve spring.
With the HLA filled with engine oil, hold A and press B by hand.
If B moves, replace the HLA.
Problem | Possible cause | Action |
1. Temporary noise during engine cold start | Normal | This noise will disappear after the oil in the engine reaches the normal pressure. |
2. Continuous noise when the engine is started after parking more than 48 hours. | Oil leakage of the high pressure chamber on the HLA, allowing air to get in. | Noise will disappear within 15 minutes when engine runs at 2000-3000 rpm. If it doesn’t disappear, refer to step 7 below. |
3. Continuous noise when the engine is first started after rebuilding cylinder head. | Insufficient oil in cylinder head oil gallery. | |
4. Continuous noise when the engine is started after excessively cranking the engine by the starter motor or band. | Oil leakage of the high-pressure chamber in the HLA, allowing air to get in. Insufficient oil in the HLA. | |
5. Continuous noise when the engine is running after changing the HLA. | note Do not run engine at a speed higher than 3000 rpm, as this may damage the HLA. | |
6. Continuous noise during idle after high engine speed. | Engine oil level too high or too low. | Check oil level. Drain or add oil as necessary. |
Excessive amount of air in the oil at high engine speed. | Check oil supply system. | |
Deteriorated oil. | Check oil quality. If deteriorated, replace with specified type. | |
7. Noise continues for more than 15 minutes. | Low oil pressure. | Check oil pressure and oil supply system of each part of engine. |
Faulty HLA. | Remove the cylinder head cover and press HLA down by hand. If it moves, replace the HLA. |
Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
Before installing the parts, apply fresh engine oil to all sliding and rotating surface.
Replace oil seals with new ones.
Install the valves.
Using the SST (09222-2A110) (A), push in a new stem seal (E).
Do not reuse old valve stem oil seals.
Incorrect installation of the seal could result in oil leakage past the valve guides.
Install the valve (D), valve spring (C) and spring retainer (B).
Place the valve springs so that the side coated with enamel faces toward the valve spring retainer and then install the retainer.
Using the SST(09222-2A100, 09222-3K000), compress the spring and install the retainer locks (A).
After installing the valves, ensure that the retainer locks are correctly in place before releasing the valve spring compressor.
Lightly tap the end of each valve stem two or three times with the wooden handle of a hammer to ensure proper seating of the valve and retainer lock.
Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
Always use a new cylinder head and manifold gasket.
Always use new cylinder head bolts. Cylinder head bolts are torque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain clamping force.
The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket. Be careful not to bend it.
Rotate the crankshaft, and set the No.1 piston at TDC.
Cylinder head dowel pins must be aligned.
Select the cylinder head gasket.
Measure the piston protrusion from the upper cylinder block face (I) on 8 places (A ~ H) at T.D.C.
Measure on the crankshaft center line considering the piston migration.
Select the gasket in the table below using the average value of piston protrusions. If the measured value of any of the points exceeds the limit of certain rank, use the gasket of the next higher rank.
Displacement | 1.4 / 1.6 | ||
Average of piston protrusion | +0.035mm(0.0014in) ≤ ~ < +0.105mm(0.0041in) | +0.105mm(0.0041in) ≤ ~ < +0.175mm(0.0069in) | +0.175mm(0.0069in) ≤ ~ < +0.245mm(0.0096in) |
Uncompressed gasket thickness | 1.00 ~ 1.15mm(0.0394 ~ 0.0453in) | 1.05 ~ 1.20mm(0.0413 ~ 0.0472in) | 1.10 ~ 1.25mm(0.0433 ~ 0.0492in) |
Compressed gasket thickness | 0.90 ~ 1.00mm(0.354 ~ 0.394in) | 0.95 ~ 1.05mm(0.0374 ~ 0.0413in) | 1.00 ~ 1.10mm(0.0394 ~ 0.0433in) |
Range of each rank | ~≤0.14mm(0.0055in) | 0.14mm(0.0055in) ≤ ~ < 0.21mm(0.0083in) | 0.21mm(0.0083in) ≤ ~ |
Identification code | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
Gasket grade | A | B | C |
Install the gasket so that the identification mark faces toward the timing chain side.
Install the cylinder head gasket (A) on the cylinder block.
Install in the correct direction.
Carefully place the cylinder head (A) so as not to damage the gasket.
Install the cylinder head bolts.
Do not apply engine oil on the cylinder head bolts.
Using the SST (09221-4A000), install and tighten the 10 cylinder head bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
Tightening torque :
47.1~51.0Nm (4.8~5.2 kgf.m, 34.7~37.6 lb-ft) + (88~92°) + (118~122°)
Always use new cylinder head bolts. Cylinder head bolts are torque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain clamping force.
Install the hydraulic lash adjuster (HLA) (A).
Before installation, the HLA should be held upright so as not to spill diesel oil or attract dust onto HLA.
Carefully insert the HLA into the cylinder head so as not to spill engine oil.
If engine oil has spilled out of the lash adjuster, HLA bleeding should be performed according to the below procedure.
HLA bleeding procedure
Stroke the lash adjuster in engine oil by pushing its cap 4 to 5 times while pushing the ball down slightly using a hard steel wire. Be careful not to give the ball a hard push as the ball weighs only several grams.
Installing with engine oil spilt out of the lash adjuster and air in it may cause an abnormal noise.
Install the cam follower (A).
Install the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
