leaking valves, refacing or replacing valve seats
and valves is not sufficient. Valve guides must be
checked for wear. This is especially important for
engines with high mileage.

Valve shaft edge must seal with guide. Due to differences in valve stem
diameter, make sure only intake valves are used to check intake
guides, and only exhaust valves are used to check exhaust guides.
