• If there is a malfunction, replace the cylinder head.

2. Measure the combustion chamber side of the cylinder head for distortion in six directions as shown in the figure using a straight edge and feeler gauge.

• If the distortion exceeds the maximum specification, replace the cylinder head. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder head by milling or grinding.
