Valve Guides
Replacement
1. As illustrated below, use a commerciallv available
air-impact valve guide driver attachment modified
to fit the diameter of the valve guides. ln most
cases, the same procedure can be done using the
sDecial tool 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 use a torch; it may warp tho head.. Do not get tho head hotter than 300"F {150"C};excesgive heat may loosen thg valve seats.. To avoid burns. use haaw gloves whon handling
the heatod cylinder head.

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 ofthe carbon and make removaleasier.
CAUTION:
. Always wsar safety goggles or a face shield whsn
driving valve guides.
. Hold the air hammer dir€ctly in line with the
valve guide to prevont damaging thg dtiver.
Turn the head over and drive the guide out toward
the camshaft side of the head.

lf a valve guide still won't move. drill it out with a8.0 mm (5/16 in) bit, then try again.
CAUTION: Drill guides only in extreme cases; you
could damago the cylinder head if ths guide br6aks.
Remove the new guide(s) from the freezer, one at a
time, as vou need them.

1.To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance.
remove the main caps and bearing halves.
Clean each main journal and bearing half with a
clean shop towel.
Place one strip of plastigage across each main jour-
na l.
NOTE: lf the engine is still in the car when you bolt
the main cap down to check clearance, the weight
of the crankshaft and flvwheel will flaften the plasti-
gage further than just the torque on the cap bolt.
and give you an incorrect reading. For an accurate
reading, support the crank with a jack under the
counterweights and check only one bearing at a
time,
Reinstall the bearings and caps, then torque the
bolts.

lf the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow,
(remove the engine if it's still in the car), remove the
crankshaft, and remove the upper half of the bear-
ing. Install a new. complete bearing with the same
color code {select the color as shown on the next
page), and rechsck the clearance.
CAUTION: Do nol fil€, shim, or scrape the bearings
or tho cap3 to adiust cleatanc€.
lf the plastigage shows the clearance is still incor-
rect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color
listed above or below that one), and check again
NOTE: lf the proper clearance cannot be obtained
by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings,
replace the crankshaft and start over.
