SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• The cylinder head can be serviced with the engine installed in the frame. Coolant in the radiator
and water jacket must be drained first.
• When assembling, apply molybdenum disulfide grease or engine oil to the valve guide movable
parts and valve arm sliding surfaces for initial lubrication.
• The valve rocker arms are lubricated by engine oil through the cylinder head engine oil passages.
Clean and unclog the oil passages before assembling the cylinder head.
• After disassembly, clean the removed parts and dry them with compressed air before inspection.
• After removal, mark and arrange the removed parts in order. When assembling, install them in the
reverse order of removal.

TROUBLESHOOTING
• The poor cylinder head operation can be diagnosed by a compression test or by tracing engine
top-end noises.
Poor performance at idle speed White smoke from exhaust muffler
• Compression too low • Worn valve stem or valve guide
• Damaged valve stem oil seal
Compression too low
• Incorrect valve clearance adjustment Abnormal noise
• Burned or bend valves • Incorrect valve clearance adjustment
• Incorrect valve timing • Sticking valve or broken valve spring
• Broken valve spring • Damaged or worn camshaft
• Poor valve and seat contact • Worn cam chain tensioner
• Leaking cylinder head gasket • Worn camshaft and rocker arm
• Warped or cracked cylinder head
• Poorly installed spark plug
Compression too high
• Excessive carbon build-up in combustion
