Valves
Valves and valve parts, like springs and keepers, are not available as service parts. The valves and valve seats
can be serviced by grinding and lapping or the head can be replaced. Depending on local machine and labor costs, it
is probably more economical to replace the cylinder head versus servicing the valves.
To service the valves:
NOTE: Warranty valve repairs are to be accom-
plished by replacing the cylinder head.
1. Remove the cylinder head by following the steps
described in the Cylinder Head section of this chap-
ter.
2. Remove the valve retainers by applying light finger
pressure on the valve retainers and sliding them for-
ward. See Figure 9.7.
3. Lift the springs off of the valve stems.
4. Slide the valves out of the cylinder head.
NOTE: Only the intake valve has a valve guide seal.
See Figure 9.8.
NOTE: Inspect the valves for signs of damage. If a
valve is damaged, replace the cylinder head.
