Valve lnstallation
When instaliing valves in the cylinder head, coat
valve stems with oil before insening them into valve
guides, and make sure valves move up and down
smoothlv.
When valves and springs are in place, lightly tap the
end of each valve stem two or three times to snsure
proper seating of valves and valve keepsrs (use plas-
tic mallet).
NOTE: Tap the valve stem only along its axis so you
do not bend the stem.

lf measurement exceeds the service limit, recheck
using a new valve.
lf measurement is now within the service limit,
reassemble using a n€w valve.
lf measurement still exceeds limit, recheck using
alternate method below. then replace valve and
guide, if necessary.
NOTE: An alternate method of checking guide to stem
clearance is to subtract the O.D. of the valve stem, mea-
sured with a micrometer. from the l.D. of the valve
guide, measured with an inside micrometer or ball
gauge.
Take the measurements in three places along the valve
stem and three places inside the valve guide.
The diiference between the largest guide measurement
and the smallest stem measurement should not exceed
the service limit

Replacement
1. As illustrated in the removal steps of this proce-
dure, use a commercially-available air-impact driv-
er attachment modified to fit the diameter of the
valve guides. In most cases. tho same procedure
can be done using the Valve Guide Driver and a
conventional hammer.

Select the proper replacement guides and chill
them in the freezer section of a refrigerator for
about an hour.
Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder
head to 300'F (150'Cl. Monitor the temperature with
a cooking thermometer.
CAUTION:
. Do not use a torch; it may warP the hgad.
. Do not get ths head hottq than 3OO'F 1150"C);

NOTE: For new valve guides only.
Coat both reamer and valve guide with cutting oil.
Rotate the reamer clockwise the full length of the
valve guide bore.
Continue to rotate the reamet clockwise while
removing it from the bore.
Thoroughly wash the guide in detergent and water
to remove any cutting residue.
Check clearance with a valve (see page 6-24).
. Verify that the valve slides in the intake 8nd

Reconditioning
1. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using a
valve seat cutter.
NOTE: lf guides are worn (see page 6-24), replace
them (see page 6-251 before cutting the valve seats,
2. Carefully cut a 45' seat, removing only enough
material to ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
3. Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30o cutter
and the lower edge of the seat with the 60' cutter.
Check width of seat and adjust accordingly.
4. Make one more very light pass with the 45" cutter to
remove any possible burrs caused by the other cut-
ters.

After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve
seating: Apply Prussian Blue compound to the valve
face, and insert valve in original location in the
head, then lift it and snap it closed against the seat
severaltimes.

7.
The actual valve seating surface, as shown by the
blue compound, should be centered on the seat.
. lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you
must make a second cut with the 60" cutter to
move it down, then one more cut with the 45'
cutter to restore seat width.
. lf it is too low (closer to the valve edgel, you
must make a second cut with the 30' cutter to
move it up, then one more cut with the 45" cutter
to restore seat width.
NOTE: The final cut should always be made with
the 45' cutter.
Insert intake and exhaust valves in the head and
measure valve stem installed height
