Cylinder head inspection, repair and replacement procedures:

a.

Check fire deck surface of cylinder head for flatness. Using a straight edge and thickness gages,

check lengthwise (six places) (Figure 9, Items 1 through 6) and crosswise (four places)

(Figure 9, Items A through D) for warpage. Maximum lengthwise warpage is 0.005 inch (0.125 mm)

and maximum crosswise warpage is 0.004 inch (0.102 mm).

b.

Inspect cam follower bores in cylinder head for scoring and wear. Clean light score marks with crocus

cloth wet with fuel oil. Non-protruding longitudinal scoring of 0.003 inch (0.08 mm) deep and bore

surface finish of 120 micro inch Arithmetic Average (AA) maximum is permissible. Check follower bore

clearance with plug gage for diameter of 1.0626–1.0670 inches (26.990–27.102 mm). Replace head if

worn beyond 1.0670 inches (27.102 mm).
