CYLINDER HEAD ASSEMBLY,R OCKER ARMS, AND TAPPETS (CONT)Location/ItemActionRemarks12.CrankshaftRotate two complete revolutions of 360 degrees.13.Cylinder headRemove waisted bolts and washers. Mark and re-move cylinder head(s) and intermediate rings.14.Lead wireRemove and measure thickness with micrometerat thinnest point. Thickness should be 0.0394 to0.0472 inch (1.0 to 1.2 mm). The measuredthickness or piston top clearance should be com-pared to the specified limits. If measurement isoutside limits, piston to clearance may be ad-justed using the following procedure. If measure-ment is within limits, proceed to assembly.THICKNESS (PISTON TOP CLEARANCE) SHOULDBE 0.0394 to 0.0472 INCH (1.0 to 1.2 mm).ADJUSTMENT15.Cylindera.Piston top clearance may be increased or de-shimscreased by adding or removing shims. Shimsare available in two thicknesses: 0.0079 inch(0.2 mm) or 0.0197 inch (0.5 mm).b.If piston top clearance is below 0.0394 inch(1.0 mm), remove cylinder and add appropri-ate number of shims. Use thicker shims ratherthan thinner shims whenever possible.6-47
