VALVE GUIDE Carbon accumulation on the valve guide will make the valve move roughly, causing the valve to not open or close properly. Valve guide abrasion is one of the causes of white smoke from the exhaust pipe. TO CLEAN CARBON ACCUMULATION OFF THE VALVE GUIDE •...
• After tapping the valve guide, you need to trim it with a reamer. When using the reamer, cutting oil must be used. The reamer can only be turned right; do not push in or out directly. • Clean the cylinder head, and remove the scraps generated while reaming. VALVE SEAT The relative position between the valve seat and the working surface of the valve is very important for the valve to seal properly.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM INSPECTION AND SERVICING GENERAL INTRODUCTION The picture shows the functional diagram of the lubrication system. After the lubrication oil crosses it is pumped by the rotator oil pump Some of the oil goes into the big end of the connecting rod and splashes on the cylinder wall and the small end of the connecting rod;...
