Valve guides, checking
When repairing engines or cylinder heads with
leaking valves, it is not sufficient to reface the
valve seats and replace the valves. The valve
guides must also be checked for wear. This is
particularly important on high-mileage engines.
Wear limit
If the wear limit is exceeded, replace cylinder head. - Insert valve into valve guide so that end of valve stem is flush with end
of guide. The valve stems have different diameters, so only use an inlet
valve in an inlet guide and an exhaust valve in an exhaust guide.
- Measure amount of rock. Inlet valve guide
