Exhaust : 0.030 ~ 0.054 mm (0.0012 ~ 0.0021 in.)
[Limit]
Intake : 0.07 mm (0.0027 in.)
Exhaust : 0.09 mm (0.0035 in.)

(2)
Check the surface of the valve for wear.
If the valve face is worn, replace the valve.
(3)
Check the valve head margin thickness.
If the margin thickness is less than minimum, replace the valve.
Margin
[Standard]
Intake : 1.56 ~ 1.86 mm (0.06142 ~ 0.07323 in.)

If the valve seat is worn, replace cylinder head.
Before reconditioning the seat, check the valve guide for wear. If the valve guide is worn, replace cylinder head. Recondition the valve seat with a valve seat grinder or cutter. The valve seat contact width should be within specifications and centered on the valve face.
4.
Inspect valve springs.

Reassembly
   
Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
Before installing the parts, apply fresh engine oil to all sliding and rotating surfaces.
Replace oil seals with new ones.
1.
Install the valves.
(1)
Using the SST (09222-2W100), push in a new oil seal.
   
Do not reuse old valve stem seals.
Incorrect installation of the seal could result in oil leakage past the valve guides.

(2)
Install the valve, valve spring and spring retainer.
   
Place valve springs so that the side coated with enamel faces toward the valve spring retainer and then install the retainer.
(3)
Using the SST (09222 - 3K000, 09222-3K100), compress the spring and install the retainer locks. After installing the valves, ensure that the retainer locks are correctly in place before releasing the valve spring compressor.

(4)
Lightly tap the end of each valve stem two or three times with a soft hammer or the wooden handle of a hammer to ensure proper seating of the valve and retainer lock.
2.
Install the MLAs.
Check that the MLA rotates smoothly by hand.

   
MLA can be reinstalled in its original position.
However, the valve lash clearances must be rechecked and adjusted accordingly before the cylinder head is installed onto the cylinder block.
Refer to General information in EM section for Valve Clearance checking and adjustment procedure.
3.
Install the LH/RH intake camshaft CVVT OCV (A).
Tightening torque :
9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)

   
•
Install OCV with gray colored connector into RH bank.
•
Install OCV with black colored connector into LH bank.
   
•
Do not reuse if OCV has been dropped.
•
Keep the OCV clean.
•
Do not hold the OCV sleeve during service.
•
When the OCV is installed on the engine, do not move the engine while holding the OCV yoke.
Installation
   
•
Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
•
Always use a new 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 tomaintain clamping force.
•
The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket. Take care not to bend it.
•
Rotate the crankshaft, and set the No.1 piston at TDC.
[RH Cylinder Head]
