connecting rod only. Use commercial thermocolor materi-
al to determine the correct temperature. When the thermo-
color material changes from black to green, the tempera-
ture is correct for installation.

be flat within 0.025 mm (0.001 inch) maximum.
6. Measure the height of the cylinder head from seal-

ing surface to sealing surface. The cylinder head
height should be 133.975 to 134.025 mm (5.274 to
5.276 inches). If the cylinder head height is less
than 133.9 mm (5.271 inches), replace the cylinder

ter KM34013.
S Upper correction angle A 30degree surface
using the cutter KM34013.
S Lower correction angle A 60degree surface
using the cutter KM34026.
3. Clean the chippings from the cylinder head.
DAEWOO V121 BL4
