sure that neither scratches nor damages exist
on the inner surface of valve guide holes in cyl-
inder head.

(6) Check the valve guide protrusion.
Valve guide protrusion L:
11.4 — 11.8 mm (0.449 — 0.465 in)
(7) Ream the inside of valve guide using ST.
Put the reamer in valve guide, and rotate the
reamer slowly clockwise while pushing it lightly.
Bring the reamer back while rotating it clock-
wise. After reaming, clean the valve guide to re-
move chips.
ST 499765900 VALVE GUIDE REAMER
NOTE:
•Apply engine oil to the reamer when reaming.
•If the inner surface of valve guide is damaged,
the edge of reamer should be slightly ground with
oil stone.
•If the inner surface of valve guide becomes lus-
trous and the reamer does not chip, use a new
reamer or remedy the reamer.
(8) Recheck the contact condition between
valve and valve seat after replacing the valve
guide.
4. INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE
1) Inspect the flange and stem of valve, and re-
place if damaged, worn or deformed, or if “H” ex-
ceeds the standard, or offset wear occurs.
H:
Intake (A)
Standard
1.0 mm (0.039 in)

stand the spring on a surface plate and measure its
deflection at the top of spring using a try square.
6. INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE OIL
SEAL
In the following case, pinch and remove the oil seal
from valve using pliers, and then replace it with a
new one.
•When the lip is damaged.
•When the spring is out of the specified position.
•When readjusting the surfaces of intake valve
and valve sheet.
•When replacing the intake valve guide.
1) Set the cylinder head on ST1.
2) Press-fit the oil seal to the specified dimension
indicated in the figure using ST2.
