  1. REPLACE INTAKE VALVE GUIDE BUSH 
    1. Heat the cylinder head sub-assembly to between 80 and 100°C (176 and 212°F).
      NOTE:

      Be sure to wear protective gloves.

    2. Place the cylinder head sub-assembly on wooden blocks.
    3. Using SST and a hammer, tap out the intake valve guide bush.
