Valve lnstallation
When installing valves in cylinder head, coat valve
stems with oil before inserting into valve guides, and
make sure valves move up and down smoothly.
When valves and springs are in place, lightly tap the
end of each valve stem two or three times to ensure
proper seating of valve and valve keepers (use ham-
mer handle).
NOTE: Tap the valve stem only along its axis so you
do not bend the stem.

Valve Movement
Measure the guide-to-stem clearance with a dial indica-
tor while rocking the stem in the direction of normal
thrust (wobble method).

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

1.As illustrated in the removal steps ot this proce-

driver attachment modified to fit the diameter of the
valve guides. In most cases, the 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"c). Monitor the temperature with
a cooking thermometer.
CAUTION:
. Do not us9 a iorch; it may warp ths hsad.
. Do not get ths head hottor than 300"F (150"C);
excsssivo hgat may loogen the valvo soaG.
. To avoid burns, use hsaw glovo3 whon handling
the heated cylindor h€ad.
Working from the camshaft side, use the driver and
an air hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm (0.1
in) towards the combustion chamber. This will
knock off some of the carbon and make removal
easier.
CAUTION:
. Always wear ssfcty gogglos 01 a taca rhiold
whcn using thc air hrmmcr,
. Hold tho.ir hammer diroctly in line with tho
v6lvo goido to prov.nt drmaging tho driv6r.
Turn the head over and drive the guide out toward
the camshaft side of head.
lf a valve guide still won't move, drill it out with a
8.0 mm (5/16 in) bit, then try again.
CAUTION; Drill guid6 only in oxtromc cs3os: you
could dlmsgo tho cylinder hoad if tho guidc brcakr.

Reaming
NOTE: For new valve guides only.
1. Coat both reamer and valve guide with cutting oil.
2, Rotate the reamer clockwise the full length of thevalve guide bore.
3. Continue to rotate the reamer clockwise whileremoving it from the bore.
4. Thoroughly wash the guide in detergent and waterto remove any cutting residue.
5. Check clearance with a valve (see page 6-70).
. Verify that the valve slides in the intake and ex-haust valve guides without exerting pressure.

Valve Seats
Reconditioning
Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using
valve seat cutters.
NOTE: lf guides are worn, replace them before cut-
ting the valve seats.
Carefully cut a 45o seat, removing only enough
materialto ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30' cutter
and the lower edge of the seat with the 60'cutter'
Check width of seat and adjust accordingly.
Make one more very light pass with the 45o cutter to
remove anv possible burrs caused by the other cut-
ters.
Valve Seat Width:
Stlndard: 1.25 - 1.55 mm {0.0,19 - 0.061 in)

SEAI wlDTH
After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve
seating: Apply Prussian Blue Compound to the
valve face, and insen valve in original location in
thc hea.l. then lift it and snap it closed against the
seat several times.

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 steml, 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 edge), 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 alwavs be made with
the 45'cuttef.

tions, check the head for warpage.
Measure along edges. and 3 ways across center.
lf warpage is less than 0.05 mm {0.002 in) cylinder
head resurfacing is not required.
lf warpage is between 0.05 mm {0,002 in) and 0.2 mm
