Valve Guide Servicing

  1. Check clearance between valve stems and valve guides. If clearance exceeds 0.004" (0.10 mm) for intake or 0.005" (0.12 mm) for exhaust, replace valve and/or valve guide.
  2. To replace valve guide, drive toward combustion chamber with installer/remover tool (09201-60011).
  3. After removing guide, measure valve guide bore in cylinder. If guide bore is more than 0.5519" (14.018 mm), machine the bore to 0.5531 - 0.5539" (14.050 - 14.068 mm).
  4. Install oversize valve guide. Oversize guide will measure 0.5519" (14.018 mm). Drive new guide in from top of cylinder head.
  5. When properly installed guide should extend 0.689" (17.5 mm) from top of cylinder head.
  6. Intake valve guide length is 2.13" (54 mm) and exhaust guide is 2.32" (59 mm) long. After installing, ream guide for proper clearance.
