Valve Guides
Valve Movement
1. Measure the guide-to-stem clearance with a dial
indicator while rocking the stem in the direction of
normal thrust (wobble method),
lntake Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance:
Standard (Newl: 0.04 - 0.10 mm
(0.002 - 0.004 in)

Standard {Newl: 0.10 - 0.16 mm
(0.004 - 0.006 inl
Service Limit: 0,22 mm (0.009 inl
lf the measurement exceeds the service limit,
recheck using a new valve.
lf the measurement is now within the service limit,
reassemble using a new valve.
lf the measurement still exceeds the limit, subtract the
O.D. of the valve stem, measured with a micrometer,
from the l.D. of the valve guide, measured with an
inside micrometer or ball gauge.
Take the measurements in three places along the
valve stem and three places inside the valve guide
The difference between the largest guide measure-
ment and the smallest stem measurement should
not exceed the service limit.

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 the
sDecial tool and a conventional hammer.

Select the proper replacement guides. and chill
them in the freezer section of a refrigerator for
about an hour.
Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder
head to 300"F (150"C). Monitor the temperature with
a cooking thermometer. Do not get the head hofter
than 300'F (150"C); excessive heat may loosen the
valve seaIs.

Working from the camshaft side, use the driver andan air hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm (O.l
in) towards the combustion chamber. This willknock off some of the carbon and make removaleasier. Hold the air hammer directly in line with thevalve guide to prevent damaging the driver.
CAUTION: Always wear satety goggles or a faceshield when driving valve guidss.
Turn the head over and drive the guide out towardthe camshaft side of the head.
li a valve guide won't move, drill it out with a 8.0mm (5/16 in) bit, then try again. Dritt guides onty inextreme cases; you could damage the cylinder headif the guide breaks.
Remove the new guide(s) from the freezer, one at atlme, as you need them.

Reaming
NOTE: For new valve guides only.
1. Coat the reamer and the valve guide with cutting oil.
2. Rotate the reamer clockwise the full length of the
valve guide bore.
Continue to rotate the reamer clockwise while
removing it from the bore.
Thoroughly wash the guide in detergent and water
to remove anY cutting residue.
Check clearance with a valve (see page 6-25).
Verify that the valves slide in the intake and exhaust
valve guides without exerting pressure.

Warpage
NOTE: lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances (see page G22)
are not within specification, the head cannot be resur-
faced.
lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances are within specifica-
tions, check the head for warpage. Measure along the
edges, and three ways across the center.
. if warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in) cylinder
head resurfacing is not required
lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in) and 0.2 mm
(0.008 in), resurface cylinder head.
Maximum resurface limit is 0.2 mm (0.008 in) based
on a height of 132.0 mm (5.20 in).

Valve Seats
Reconditioning
lf the guides are worn (see page 6-25), replace them (seepage e25) before reconditioning the valve seats.
1. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using avalve seat cutter.
Carefully cut a 45o seat, removing only enoughmaterialto ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30. cutterand the lower edge of the seat with the 60" cutter.Check width of seat and adjust acco.dingly.
Make one more very light pass with the 45o cutter toremove any possible burrs caused bv the other cut-ters.
Valve Seat Width (lntake and Exhaust):
Standard {N.w}: 1.25 - 1.55 mm (0.049 - 0.051 in)Servica Limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 in)

5. After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve
seating: Apply Prussian Blue compound to the valve
face, and insert the valve in its original location in
the head, then lift it and snap it closed against the
seat several times.

PRUSSIAN
The actual valve seating surface, as shown by the
blue compound, should be centered on the seat.. lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you
must make a second cut with the 60" cutter tomove it down, then one more cut with the 45"
cutter to restore seat width.
. lf it is too low (closer to the valve edge), you
must make a second cut with the 30. cutter tomove it up, then one more cut with the 45. cutter
to restore seat width.
NOTE: The final cut should alwavs be made withthe 45" cutter,
Insert the intake and exhaust valves in the head,
