TM 9-6115-604-34NAVFAC P-8-633-349-6.CYLINDER HEADS DISASSEMBLY. (See Figure 9-1.)NOTEIt is desirable that each valve and port be identified so that valvescan be reinstalled in the ports from which they were removed.Because valves, seats, and guides tend to mate during operation,returning each valve to its corresponding port will ensure a goodfit. Furthermore, it will be easier to detect the source of unusualvalve wear caused by defective seats or valve guides.a.Using valve spring compressor ST448-6, compress the valve spring (3), and remove and discard the locks(1).b.Release the tension on the valve spring, and remove the valve spring seat (2), valve spring (3), valve springguide (4), and exhaust or intake valve (5 or 6) from the cylinder head (7).c.Place the valve in a numbered valve board for later inspection and reconditioning.d.Repeat steps a through e, above, for each valve. Be sure each valve is placed in a numbered valve board.e.After cleaning and inspecting the cylinder heads, carry out further disassembly as necessary in accordancewith paragraphs 9-9 and 9-10.9-7.DISASSEMBLED CYLINDER HEAD CLEANING.WARNINGDry cleaning solvent PD-680, Type lIl, or equivalent, is flammable,and moderately toxic to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.Assure adequate ventilation. Skin, eye, and respiratory protectionis required to avoid injury to personnel.WARNINGCompressed air used for cleaning or drying can create airborneparticles that may enter the eyes Pressure shall not exceed 30 psi(207 kPa). Wearing of goggles Is required to avoid Injury topersonnel.a.Clean all disassembled parts in dry cleaning solvent P-D-680, Type III, or equivalent, and dry withcompressed air or dean shop towels as necessary.b.Clean the valves as follows:(1)Clean all traces of carbon or varnish from the valves using glass bead method MIL-STD-852, andglass beads MIL-G-9954 sieve 60, or finer.(2)Polish the valves with a buffer or crocus cloth P-C-458.c.Clean the cylinder heads as follows:(1)Clean the fuel passages using brush ST-876, and solvent P-D-680, Type lIl, or equivalent. Flushpassages with solvent and blow dry with compressed air.(2)Thoroughly dean the head of all carbon deposits, varnish, and accumulated dirt. Use extreme carewhen wire brushing around injector seat and valve seat areas to avoid damaging the seats.(3)If excessive deposits of rust or scale in the water jacket is apparent, or overheating has been aproblem, dean the water jacket in accordance with paragraph 9-11.9-6
