In place of the above procedure a
new cam operated insert remover J
23479-15 and collet J 23479-10 can
be used to remove the exhaust
valve seat insert from the cylinder
head.

1. Clean the valve seat insert counter-
bores in the cylinder head with trichlo-
roethylene or other suitable solvent.
Also wash the valve seat inserts with the
same solvent. Dry the counterbores and
the inserts with compressed air.
2. Inspect the counterbores in the cylin-
der head for cleanliness, concentricity,
flatness and cracks. The counter bores
have a diameter of 1.260" to 1.261" and a

3. Immerse the cylinder head for at least
thirty minutes in water heated to
180-200F (82-93C).
4. Rest the cylinder head, bottom side
up, on a bench and place an insert in

In-
stall the insert in the cylinder head-while
the head is still hot and the insert is at
room temperature, otherwise installation
will be difficult and the parts may be
damaged.
