Hyundai Palisade. Repair procedures

2.	Inspect for cracks. Check the combustion chamber, intake ports, exhaust ports and cylinder block surface for cracks. If cracked, replace the cylinder head.

Valve And Valve Spring

Inspect valve stems and valve guides.

(1)

Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the valve guide.

Valve guide I.D.

Intake / Exhaust : 5.500 - 5.512 mm (0.216 - 0.217 in.)

Hyundai Palisade. Repair procedures

(2)

(3)

Check the valve head margin thickness.

If the margin thickness is below specification, replace the valve.

Margin

[Standard]

•	Replace oil seals with new ones.

Install the valves.

(1)

Using the SST (09222-3C100), push in a new oil seal.

•	Do not reuse old valve stem seals.

•	Incorrect installation of the seal could result in oil leakage past the valve guides.

Hyundai Palisade. Repair procedures

(2)

Install the valve, valve spring and spring retainer.

•	Place valve springs so that the side coated with enamel faces toward the valve spring retainer and then install the retainer.

(3)	Using the SSTs (09222 - 3K000, 09222-3K100), compress the spring and install the retainer locks. After installing the valves, ensure that the retainer locks are in place before releasing the valve spring compressor.

(4)	Lightly tap the end of each valve stem two or three times with a soft hammer or the wooden handle of a hammer to ensure proper seating of the valve and retainer lock.

Install the MLAs (A).

Check by hand that the MLA rotates smoothly.

Hyundai Palisade. Repair procedures

•	MLA can be reinstalled in its original position. However, the valve lash clearances must be rechecked and adjusted accordingly before the cylinder head is installed onto the cylinder block. Refer to General information in EM section for Valve Clearance checking and adjustment procedure.

Installation

•	Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.

•	Always use a new head and manifold gasket.

•	Always use new cylinder head bolts. Cylinder head bolts are torque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail tomaintain clamping force.

•	The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket. Be careful not to bend it.

•	Rotate the crankshaft, and set the No.1 piston at TDC.

[RH Cylinder Head]

Install the cylinder RH head.

a.	The sealant locations on cylinder head and cylinder block must be free of engine oil and ETC.

Apply TB 1217H sealant on cylinder block top face before assembling cylinder head gaskets.
