(7) Ream the inside of valve guide with ST. Gently
rotate the reamer clockwise while pressing it lightly into
valve guide, and return it also rotating clockwise. After
reaming, clean valve guide to remove chips.
ST 499767400 VALVE GUIDE REAMER
CAUTION:
Apply engine oil to the reamer when reaming.
If the inner surface of the valve guide is torn, the
edge of the reamer should be slightly ground with an
oil stone.
If the inner surface of the valve guide becomes lus-
trous and the reamer does not chips, use a new reamer
or remedy the reamer.
(8) Recheck the contact condition between valve and

Replace oil seal with new one, if lip is damaged or spring
out of place, or when the surfaces of intake valve and valve
seat are reconditioned or intake valve guide is replaced.
1) Place cylinder head on ST1.
2) Press-fit oil seal to the specified dimension indicated in
the Figure by using ST2.
