Disassembly

1) When servicing cylinder head, remove intake 

manifold, injectors, exhaust manifold and water 
outlet cap from cylinder head.

2) Using special tools, compress valve springs and 

then remove valve cotters (1) also by using special 
tool.

Special tool
(A):  09916–14510
(B):  09916–16510
(C):  09919–28610
(D):  09916–84511

3) Release special tool, and remove spring retainers 

and valve springs.

4) Remove valve from combustion chamber side.
5) Remove valve stem seal (1) from valve guide, and 

then valve spring seat (2).

NOTE
Do not reuse seal once disassembled. Be 
sure to use new seal when assembling.

 

6) Using special tool (Valve guide remover), drive valve 

guide out from combustion chamber side to valve 
spring side.

Special tool
(A):  09916–46020

NOTE
Do not reuse valve guide once disassembled. 
Be sure to use new valve guide (oversize) 
when assembling.

 

7) Place disassembled parts except valve stem seal 

and valve guide in order so that they can be installed 
in their original positions.

Assembly

1) Before installing valve guide into cylinder head, ream 

guide hole with special tool (11 mm reamer) so as to 
remove burrs and make it truly round.

Special tool
(A):  09916–34542
(B):  09916–38210

2) Install valve guide to cylinder head.

Heat cylinder head uniformly at a temperature of 80 
to 100 

°C (176 to 212 °F) so that head will not be 

distorted, and drive new valve guide into hole with 
special tools.
Drive in new valve guide until special tool (Valve 
guide installer) contacts cylinder head.
After installing, make sure that valve guide protrudes 
by 13.0 mm (0.51 in.) from cylinder head.

Special tool
(A):  09916–57350
(B):  09916–57340

NOTE

• Do not reuse valve guide once 

disassembled. Install new valve guide 
(Oversize).

• Intake and exhaust valve guides are 

identical.

 

Valve guide oversize
0.03 mm (0.0012 in.)

Valve guide protrusion “a” (In and Ex)
13.0 mm (0.51 in.)

3) Ream valve guide bore with special tool (6.0 mm 

reamer). After reaming, clean bore.

Special tool
(A):  09916–34542
(B):  09916–37810

4) Install valve spring seat to cylinder head.
5) Install new valve stem seal (1) to valve guide.

After applying engine oil to seal and spindle of 
special tool (Valve guide installer handle), fit oil seal 
to spindle, and then install seal to valve guide by 
pushing special tool by hand.
After installing, check to be sure that seal is properly 
fixed to valve guide.

Special tool
(A):  09917–98221
(B):  09916–57350

NOTE

• Do not reuse seal once disassembled. Be 

sure to install new seal.

• When installing, never tap or hit special 

tool with a hammer or else. Install seal to 
guide only by pushing special tool by 
hand. Tapping or hitting special tool may 
cause damage to seal.

6) Install valve to valve guide.

Before installing valve to valve guide, apply engine 
oil to stem seal, valve guide bore, and valve stem.

7) Install valve spring and spring retainer.

Each valve spring has top end (large-pitch end (1)) 
and bottom end (small-pitch end (2)). Be sure to 
position spring in place with its bottom end (small-
pitch end) facing the bottom (valve spring seat side).

8) Using special tool (Valve lifter), compress valve 

spring and fit two valve cotters (1) into groove in 
valve stem.

(B):  09916–16510
(C):  09919–28610
(D):  09916–84511

9) Install intake manifold referring to “Intake Manifold 

Removal and Installation: For J20 Engine”.

10) Install exhaust manifold referring to “Exhaust 

Manifold Removal and Installation (For J20 Engine 
Model): For Petrol Engine Model in Section 1K”.

Valves and Valve Guides Inspection

S6JB0A1426027

Valve Guide
Valve stem-to-guide clearance
Using a micrometer and bore gauge, take diameter readings on valve stems and guides to check stem-to-guide 
clearance.
Be sure to take reading at more than one place along the length of each stem and guide.
If clearance exceeds limit, replace valve and valve guide.

Valve stem and valve guide specification

Valve stem end deflection
If bore gauge is not available, check end deflection of valve stem with a dial gauge instead.
Move stem end in directions (1) and (2) to measure end deflection.
If deflection exceeds its limit, replace valve stem and valve guide.

Valve stem end deflection limit
