EXAMINATION OF COMPONENTS 
Petrol engine 
32. Examine the cylinder  head for cracks  and 
distortion.  Burnt, pitted and pocketed  seats  must 
be  repaired. 
Diesel  engine 
33. Same as for petrol  engine  and in addition,  worn or 
damaged  exhaust  seat inserts  should  be renewed, 
as described  later. 
Hot plugs and injector shrouds - examine and renew 
When carrying out normal  top  overhaul  work on  the 
cylinder  head 
it is  not  necessary  to rcmove either the 
injector  shrouds 
or the hot  plugs. 
Small  surface cracks 
in the hot plug, extending  from the 
opening  to approximately 
8,O inn1 (,0.312 in) in length 
can be ignored. However if any  severe cracks appear  on 
the  face 
of the hot  plug, before  attempting to remove it, 
closely  inspect the cylinder  head for signs of cracks, 
particularly  between the inlet  and  exhaust  valve seats. 
Such  cracking  indicates  that the engine  has overheated, 
usually  through  lack 
of coolant,  and  the  cylinder  head 
hhould be scrapped. 
.. *. ,. , ,. 
34. To remove a hot plug, insert a thin soft metal  drift 
through  the injector  shroud throat and tap  the 
hot 
plug  from the inside.  Once removed  a faulty  hot 
plug  cannot  be restored and  must be renewed. 
35. If the injector shroud  is damaged,  drift the shroud 
out towards the injector  bore. 
36. Thoroughly  clean out  the  combustion  chamber. 
The 
hole in the  side  of the  injector  shroud is for 
manufacturing  purposes only but 
at the same time 
can  be used  as a guide  when  refitting  the shroud. 
37. Smear a  little oil on the shroud  and  insert into the 
cylinder  head  with the 
hole pointing  towards  the 
centre 
of the cylinder  head, and drift into 
position. 
34 38 ST677M 
38. Fit  the  hot  plugs  by tapping with a hidc-faced 
mallet,  and  locate  with a new roll pin. If thc hot 
plugs  are loose 
in the  cylinder  head they may be 
retained 
with a  little  grease. 
39. When fitted, the hot plugs  must  be checked  with ii 
dial test  indicator  to  ensure that they do not 
protrude  above the  level 
of the cylinder  head  Cace 
more  than 
0,025 mm (0.001 in) and  are not 
recessed  below the level 
of the cylinder  head  face 
more than 
0.05 mm (U.002 in).

40. Chcck  the  valve  guides  for  wear by inserting  a 
new  valve 
in the appropriate  guide 8 mm above 
the  seat.  If movement  across  the head exceeds 
0,15 mm (0.006 in) renew the  guide. 
41.  Inspect  the  valves and discard  any that  are burnt, 
bent 
or distorted.  Check  the  stems for wear  by 
inserting  in a new  guide.  If wear  is 
excessivc, 
discard  the  valve. Valve faces that are pitted or 
ridged  but otherwise  serviceable  may be refaced. 
42.  Renew  push rods  that  are bent 
or have  worn or 
scored  ball or socket ends.

45. Fit new  sealing  rings to new  push  rod tubes  and 
smear  with silicone  MS4 grease. 
46.  Insert the  new tubes,  chamfered  end first from 
the 
combustion  chamber side. Align the flat on the 
push 
rod tube  at right  angles  to an  imaginary  line 
between  the centre 
of the  push  rod tube  and 
centre  of the hot  plug. 
47.  Press  the  push 
rod tubes into position  whilst 
maintaining  the alignment. 
Also ensure  that the 
chamfers 
on the  tubes  and in the cylinder  head are 
fully  engaged. 
Renew valve guide 
48. Support  the  cylinder head, combustion  chamber 
uppermost  on pieces  of timber  of sufficient 
thickness 
to allow  clearance for the valve  guides 
to be driven  out. 
49. Using  special  drift 274400 for inlet  guides  and 
274401  for exhaust 
guidcs or suitable  alternatives 
drive 
out the  old guides  from the combustion  face
