Valve Guides
- Check valve stem oil clearance. Ensure valve stem diameter is within specification. Valve guide must be reamed for valve with oversize valve stem if clearance exceeds specification. See ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Valves are available with oversize valve stems of .006" (.15 mm), .016" (.40 mm) and .031" (.80 mm). Cylinder head must be replaced if guide cannot be cleaned using a .031" (.80 mm) reamer.
NOTE:
DO NOT
ream valve guides from standard to maximum oversize in one step. Ream guides to oversize in gradual steps, so guides are reamed true in relation to valve seat.
