Valve Guide Servicing

  1. Check valve stem-to-guide clearance, and if clearance exceeds service limits as listed in table, replace valve guide with next oversize component. Guides are available in the following oversizes:
    VALVE GUIDE OVERSIZES

    Size Mark Guide Oversize: In. (mm) Cyl. Head Bore: In. (mm)
    5 .002 (.05) .5138-.5145 (13.05-13.07)
    25 .010 (.25) .5216-.5224 (13.25-13.27)
    50 .020 (.50) .5315-.5323 (13.50-13.52)
  2. Heat cylinder head to approximately 480°F (249°C), and use a valve guide tool to drive out each guide toward the combustion chamber.
  3. After head has cooled to room temperature, ream guide bore in cylinder head to specified size. To install new guides, reheat head to same temperature, quickly insert and drive guides into head.
  4. When properly installed, guide should protrude .591" (15 mm) above head surface on 2.0L engines and .551" (14 mm) on 2.6L engines. See Fig 1. Check guide I.D. and ream as necessary.
