WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 1995 Ford RV Cutaway, 1995 Ford Pickup, 1995 Ford F-Super Duty, 1995 Ford Econoline, and 1995 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Valve guides must be reamed for an oversized valve if valve stem-to-guide oil clearance exceeds specification. Refer to CYLINDER HEAD table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Valves are available with .015" (.38 mm) and .030" (.76 mm) oversize stems.
- If oversized valves or oversized valve stem oil seals are not available, valve guide may be bored out to install a service bushing. Always use reamers in proper sequence (smallest first).
NOTE:
Always grind valve seat after valve guide has been reamed or service bushing installed.
