17. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SET BOLT |
Using a vernier caliper, measure the diameter of the most elongated threads in the measuring area.
- Standard outside diameter:
- 10.76 to 10.97 mm (0.424 to 0.432 in.)
- Minimum outside diameter:
- 10.40 mm (0.409 in.)
- Distance:
- 30 mm (1.18 in.)

If a visual check reveals no excessively thin areas, check the center of the measuring area (see illustration) and find the area that has the smallest diameter.
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the cylinder head set bolt.
18. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SUB-ASSEMBLY |
Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the warpage of the surfaces that contact the cylinder block and manifolds.
- Maximum warpage:
- 0.05 mm (0.00197 in.)

If the warpage is more than the maximum, replace the cylinder head.
Using a dye penetrant, check the intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder head surface for cracks.
If cracked, replace the cylinder head.
