Disassembly

1) For ease in servicing cylinder head, remove intake 

manifold, injectors, exhaust manifold from cylinder 
head.

2) Using special tools (Valve lifter), compress valve 

spring and then remove valve cotters (1) also by 
using special tool (Forceps).

3) Release special tools (Valve lifter), and remove 

spring retainer and valve spring.

4) Remove valve from combustion chamber side.
5) Remove valve stem seal (1) from valve guide and 

valve spring seat (2).

NOTE
Do not reuse valve stem seal once 
disassembled. Be sure to use new seal when 
assembling.

 

6) Using special tool (Valve guide remover), drive valve 

guide out from combustion chamber side to valve 
spring side.

Special tool
(A):  09916–44910

NOTE
Do not reuse valve guide once disassembled. 
Be sure to use new valve guide (oversize) 
when assembling.

 

7) Place disassembled parts except valve stem seal 

and valve guide in order so that they can be installed 
in their original position.

Assembly

1) Before installing valve guide into cylinder head, ream 

guide hole with special tool (10.5 mm reamer) so as 
to remove burrs and make it truly round.

Special tool
(A):  09916–34542
(B):  09916–37320

2) Install valve guide to cylinder head.

Heat cylinder head uniformly at a temperature of 80 
to 100 

°C (176 to 212 °F) so that head will not be 

distorted, and drive new valve guide into hole with 
special tools.
Drive in new valve guide until special tool (Valve 
guide installer) contacts cylinder head.
After installing, make sure that valve guide protrudes 
by specified dimension “a” from cylinder head.

Special tool
(A):  09916–58210
(B):  09916–56011

NOTE

• Never reuse valve guide once 

disassembled. Make sure to install new 
valve guide (Oversize).

• Intake and exhaust valve guides are 

identical.

(B):  09916–34550

4) Install valve spring seat to cylinder head.
5) Install new valve stem seal (1) to valve guide.

After applying engine oil to seal and spindle of 
special tool (Valve guide installer handle), fit oil seal 
to spindle, and then install seal to valve guide by 
pushing special tool by hand.
After installing, check to be sure that seal is properly 
fixed to valve guide.

Special tool
(A):  09917–98221
(B):  09916–58210

NOTE

• Do not reuse seal once disassembled. Be 

sure to install new seal.

• When installing, never tap or hit special 

tool with a hammer or else. Install seal to 
guide only by pushing special tool by 
hand. Tapping or hitting special tool may 
cause damage to seal.

 

6) Install valve to valve guide.

Before installing valve to valve guide, apply engine 
oil to stem seal, valve guide bore and valve stem.

7) Install valve spring and spring retainer.

Each valve spring has top end (large-pitch end (1)) 
and bottom end (small-pitch end (2)). Be sure to 
position spring in place with its bottom end (small-
pitch end) facing the bottom (valve spring seat side).
