Valve Guides

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1995 Dodge Ram Wagon, 1995 Dodge Ram Van, 1995 Dodge Pickup, and 1995 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check valve stem oil clearance. Ensure valve stem diameter is within specification. Valve guide must be reamed for valve with oversize valve stem if oil clearance exceeds specification. See CYLINDER HEAD  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Valves are available with stems of .015" (.38 mm) and .030" (.76 mm) oversize.

NOTE: DO NOT ream valve guides from standard to maximum oversize in one step. Ream valve guides to oversize in gradual steps so guides are reamed true in relation to valve seat. After reaming valve guides, valve seat runout must be checked.
