Valve Installation'alve Inslallauon -
When installing valves in the cylinder head, coat
valve stems with oil belore inserting them 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 valves and valve keepers (use plas
tic mallet).
NOTE: Tap the valve stem only along lts axrs so you
do not bend the stem.

thrust {wobble method).

lf measurement exceeds the service limit, recheck
usrng 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.
NOTEr An alternate method of checking guide to stem
clearance is to subtract the O.D. of the valve stem, mea-
sured with a micrometer, from the l.D. o{ the valve
guide, measured with an inside micrometer or ball
ga uge.
Take the measurements in three places along the valve
stem and three places inside the valve guide.
The diiference between the largest guide measurement
and the smallest stem measurement should not exceed
the service limit

Replacement
1. As illustrated below use a commercially available
air-impact valve guide driver attachment modified
to fit the diameter of the valve guides, In most
cases, the same procedure can be done using thespecial tool and a conventional hammer.

Select the proper replacement guides and chillthem in the freezer section of a refrigerator forabout an hour.
Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinderhead to 300"F (150"C). Monitor the temperature witha cooking thermometer.
CAUTION:
. Do not use a torch; it may warp the hoad.. Do not ger tho head hotter than 300.F ltS0"C);exces3ive heat may loo3en the valvo seats.. To avoid burns, uss heaw gloves when handlingthe heat€d cylinder head.

Working trom the camshaft side, use the driver and8n air hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm (0.1
in) towards the combustion chamber. This willknock off some of the carbon and make removaleaster.
CAUTION:
. Always wear safety goggles or a face shieldwhen driving valve guides.
. Hold the air hammer direcfly in line with thevalve guide to prevent damaging the driver.
Turn the head over and drive the guide out towardthe camshaft side of head.

VALVE GUIDE DRIVER.079i12 - 65701006.6 mm
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 guides only in extreme cases; You
could damage the cylinder head it the guide breaks.
6. Remove the new guide{s) from the freezer, one at atime, as you need them.
