- Use Tooling (A) in order to check the depths of the inlet valves and the exhaust valves below the face of the cylinder head. Use gauge block (3) to zero dial indicator (1) .
- Position gauge body (2) and dial indicator (1) in order to measure the valve depth. Measure the depth of the inlet valve and the exhaust valve before the valve springs are removed.
Refer to Specifications, "Cylinder Head Valves" for the minimum, the maximum, and the service wear limits for the valve depth below the cylinder head face.
If the valve depth below the cylinder head face exceeds the service limit, use a new valve to check the valve depth. If the valve depth still exceeds the service limit, renew the cylinder head or renew the valve seat inserts. If the valve depth is within the service limit, renew the valves.
