2. Coat the outside of valve guide (5) with oil.   
3. Position the valve guide (5) and knock into the cylinder   head as far as the stop (arrow)   of the insertion  
drift (3).   Check the secure seati  ng of the valve guide (5). The instal lation depth of the valve guide (5)  
is set by the   drift punch (3).  
Fig. 106: Identifying Valve Guide
  
4. Check the valve guide (5) with the   feeler gauge   (4).   The side of the   feeler gauge (4) marked  
with '0' must be inserted completely into the valve gui  de (5). The valve guide (5) must be replaced if the  
 feeler gauge (4) cannot be insert  ed completely. The valve guide (5)  is made of powdered metal, so  
reaming is not possible.
