VALVE STEM AND VALVE FACE WEAR CONDITION
• Visually inspect each valve stem and valve face for wear and
pitting.
• If it is worn or damaged, replace the valve with a new one.
VALVE STEM DEFLECTION
• Lift the valve about 10 mm (0.39 in) from the valve seat.
• Measure the valve stem deflection in two directions, perpen-
dicular to each other, by positioning the dial gauge as shown.
• If the deflection measured exceeds the limit, then determine
whether the valve or the guide should be replaced with a new
one.
