| 11 Valves/valve seats/valve guides- servicing |
valves and related components can be done (if the necessary special tools are available) by the home mechanic. This way no expense is incurred if the inspection reveals that overhaul is not required at this time.
| 1 Because of the complex nature of this job and the special tools and equipment required, most owners leave servicing of the valves, valve seats and valve guides to a professional. 2 The home mechanic can, however, remove the valves from the cylinder head, clean and check the components for wear and assess the extent of the work needed, and, unless a valve service is required, grind in the valves (see Section 12). 3 A Honda dealer or motorcycle engineer will remove the valves and springs, renew the valves and guides, recut the valve seats, check and renew the valve springs, spring retainers and collets (as necessary), renew the valve seals and reassemble the valve components. 4 After the valve service has been performed, the head will be in like-new condition. When the head is returned, be sure to clean it again very thoroughly before installation on the engine to remove any metal particles or abrasive grit that may still be present from the valve service operations. Use compressed air, if available, to blow out all the holes and passages. |
2 To disassemble the valve components
without the risk of damaging them, a
valve spring compressor is absolutely
necessary.
Disassembly
3 Before proceeding, arrange to label and store the valves along with their related components in such a way that they can be returned to their original locations without getting mixed up (see illustration).A good way to do this is to use the same container as the followers and shims are stored in (see Section 10), or obtain a separate container which is divided into eight compartments, and label each compartment with the identity of the valve which will be stored in it (ie number of cylinder, inlet or exhaust valve, inner or outer valve). Alternatively, labelled plastic bags will do just as well.
4 If not already done, clean all traces of old gasket material from the cylinder head. If a scraper is used, take care not to scratch or gouge the soft aluminium.
