Removal & Installation

  1. Heat cylinder head to 140°F (60° C) and press old guides out with drift (2818). To install, use intake guide drift (5027) and exhaust guide drift (5028) to press in new guides.
  2. Valve guides are available in standard size (no grooves) and 3 oversizes (1, 2 or 3 grooves). Ream oversize guides with proper reamer (5161, 5162, or 5163 respectively).
  3. Press in until drift contacts cylinder head to give proper height above cylinder head. Installed height for intake guide is .606-.614" (15.4-15.6 mm) and .705-.713" (17.9-18.1 mm) for exhaust guide.
NOTE: Ensure that replacement guide is same size as old guide. At least 1980 lbs. (898 kg) force should be required to press in new guide; if not, head must be fitted with oversize guide.
