NOTE
Make sure all cylinder head surfaces are clear
of any gasket material, silicone sealant, oil and
coolant. The cylinder head surface must be
clean and dry before running a flatness check.
NOTE
Use a Straightedge that is calibrated by the
manufacturer to be flat within 0.005 mm
(0.0002 in) per running foot of length, such as
Snap-On® GA438A or equivalent. For exam-
ple, if the Straightedge is 61 cm (24 in) long, the
machined edge must be flat within 0.010 mm
(0.0004 in) from end to end.
NOTE
Use compressed air at 7 to 10 bars (100-150 psi).
Do not disconnect the compressed air from the
cylinder until the valve spring, valve spring
