Valve Guide Servicing
- Measure clearance between valve stem and guide bushing. If clearance exceeds 0.002" (intake) or 0.003" (exhaust), replace bushing.
- To replace valve guide bushing, heat cylinder head to 176-212°F and position brass rod above guide bushing snap ring. Strike to break off bushing at snap ring portion.
NOTE:
If tool 09201-60010 is used instead of the proper Tool 09201-41010, bushing will be damaged. It is important, therefore, to use correct tool.
- 4) Ream bushing to achieve clearance on intake valves of 0.0006 - 0.0018". Exhaust valve stem clearance should be 0.0010 - 0.0024". Guide bore finished measurements should be 0.315 - 0.316".
