( 1 ) These part numbers are not serviced. The cylinder heads are serviced at the "basic cylinder head group" level.The components that are listed in Table 2 can be used to rebuild the new cylinder heads. The premachined valve seat inserts MUST be used with the precision valve guides. The part numbers for the valves have not changed from the former cylinder heads.Note: The new cylinder head components are not adaptable to the former cylinder heads.

( 1 ) The valve seat inserts are components of the cylinder head assemblies. The inserts are available individually for parts service. The cylinder head assemblies are not available for parts service.Note: Do not perform any machining or any lapping on the valves or seat inserts after installation. Proper seating is established very early in the break-in period.Note: It is VERY IMPORTANT to perform bridge adjustment and valve lash adjustment at the proper interval. The recommended interval for each specific application can be found in the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the engine.
