MEASUREMENT OF PISTON CLEARANCE

Pistons obtained as spare parts are not classified, but

their diameter lies within the upper part of the tolerance

range, so that in most cases the cylinder bore will have
to be honed in order to get the right piston clearance
when a new piston is fitted.

If the clearance obtained is excessive, the cylinder bores

must be drilled to the next oversize. See group 0.

MATNING AV KOLVRINGSGAP

In a worn bore

When fitting piston rings in a worn cylinder bore, the
ring gap must be measured in the lower reverse position,
as the bore has the smallest diameter at this point.

Reassembly

In reassembly, the oil holes in the rocker shaft for lubri-
cation of the rocker arms must be turned downwards
against the cylinder head. This position is marked by a
grinding at the end of the rocker shaft.

First, drive a roll pin into the shaft and then install the
various parts as indicated in the illustration. The rocker
shaft bracket with the oil outlet must be positioned at
the rear on the righthand side of the engine and at the
front on the lefthand side of the engine.

1. Remove the rocker arm assembly,

2. Unscrew the spark plugs.

2. Instead of a spark plug, screw in tool 78 62 402 and
secure with same that valve of which the valve spring
is to be removed. Before inserting the tool, the piston
should however be put near the T.D.C. This for safety’s
sake, should for some reason the valve come loose and
fall down on the piston.

4. By means of tool 78 62 279 depress the valve spring
and remove the valve retainers.

5. Carefully relax the spring tension, and remove the

valve spring and its washer.
6. Remove the valve stem seal from the valve stem.

Installation

Install new valve stem seals on the valve stems.

2. Position the valve spring and valve spring washers
and press with tool 78 62 279 down the spring.

3. Install the valve retainers and then relax the spring

tension. Check that the retainer has adopted the cor-

used. Thereafter, the valve seat must be carefully re-
ground.

§ 1229

APPLICATION OF PILOT ARBOR FOR VALVE MILLING
CUTTER

As a rule, the width of the valve seat is excessive after
this milling operation and it is then necessary to reduce
the seat.

Reduction from inside is made with a 75° correction mil-
ling cutter and from outside with an 11° correction mil-
ling cutter. Reduction must always be performed so that
the sealing surface of the cylinder head will meet the
valve seat as close as possible to the center of the seat.
This can easily be checked with marking dye. After ad-
justment, the width of the seat shall be 0,059—0.070 in.
(1.5—1.7 mm) for both intake and exhaust valves.

VALVE SEAT ANGLES

NOTE
Correction milling must always be limited, as it is
never permissible to remove more material than
necessary. Milling set includes milling cutters of
different sizes for intake and exhaust valve seats.

Valve honing

Apply a thin coat of grinding paste to the valve seat and
insert the valve in the cylinder head, Make a few honing
passes with the tool, carefully clean all grinding paste
out of the seat and check the surface with marking dye.
If necessary, repeat this procedure and also do further
milling if this should prove to be required.

VALVE HONING

Installation of valves

Lubricate the valve stems and guides, and insert the valve
with oil seal, valve spring and spring washer. Press the
spring washer and spring down with the valve spring
pliers and insert the two retainers.

ADJUSTMENT OF VALVES

Set the mark on the pulley immediately opposite the
dead center mark on the transmission cover. If the crank-
shaft is turned slightly back and forth in this position,
the rocker arms at the first or fourth cylinder will move
in opposite directions (will rock).

In this position, adjust the valves with a feeler gauge in
accordance with the directions given below. Then turn
the crankshaft one revolution and adjust the remaining

valves.
If the rocker arms rock at cylinder 4, valves 1, 2, 4 and

6 must be adjusted.
If the rocker arms rock at cylinder 1, valves 3, 5, 7 and

8 must be adjusted.
