CYLINDER HEAD/VALVE VALVE SPRING COMPRESSOR 07757 —00 10000 Remove the valve spring cotters, retainers, springs and valves. CAUTION: • To prevent loss of tension, do not compress the valve springs more than necessary to remove the cotters. • Thread the large retainer on the compressor attachment, so the compressor will not touch the cylinder head. NOTE: Mark all disassembled parts to ensure correct reassembly. Remove the valve stem seals. Remove carbon deposits from the combustion chamber and clean off the head gasket surfaces. NOTE: • Avoid damaging the gasket surfaces. • Gaskets will come off easier if soaked in solvent. CYLINDER HEAD INSPECTION Check the spark plug hole and valve areas for cracks. Check the cylinder head for warpage with a straight edge and feeler gauge. SERVICE LIMIT: 0.25 mm (0.010 in) 144 Date of Issue: May, 1982 0 HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. 1 0-1 0
