INSPECTION
Valve Guides
Using a micrometer and bore gauge, take diameter readings on
valve stems and guides to check stem-to-guide clearance. Be
sure to take reading at more than one place along the length of
each stem and guide.
If clearance exceeds limit, replace valve and valve guide.
Valve stem-to-guide clearance
Valve stem diameter [A]
Valve guide bore [B] standard
In and Ex : 6.000 – 6.012 mm (0.2362 – 0.2367 in.) for 69G
type valve
In and Ex : 5.485 – 5.510 mm (0.2159 – 0.2169 in.) for 54G
type valve
If bore gauge is not available, check end deflection of valve stem
with a dial gauge instead.
Move stem end in directions (1) and (2) to measure end deflec-
tion.
If deflection exceeds its limit, replace valve stem and valve guide.
