VALVE STEM DEFLECTION
Lift the valve about 10 mm (0.39 in) from the valve seat. Mea-
sure the valve stem deflection in two directions, "X" and "Y", per-
pendicular to each other. Position the dial gauge as shown. If
the deflection exceeds the service limit, determine whether the
valve or the guide should be replaced with a new one.

% Valve stem deflection
Service Limit: 0.35 mm (0.014 in)
VALVE STEM WEAR
Measure the valve stem outside diameter using the micrometer.
If the outside diameter is not within the specified value, replace
the valve with a new one. If the valve stem outside diameter is
within specification, but the valve stem deflection is not, replace
the valve guide with a new one. After replacing the valve or
valve guide, check the deflection.
