Measuring Rotor Height
eamer for the .010" or .013" O.S. valve guide bore. If too
rl
large a reamer is used and the spiraling is removed, it is
problable that the valve will not receive the proper
lubrication.
Occasionally a valve guide bore will be oversize as
manufactured. These are marked on the inboard side of the
cylinder heads on the machined surface just above the intake
manifold surface. (Fig. 6A4-30) These markings are visible
without removing any parts other than the air cleaner
assembly. Before removing the cylinder heads to perform
service to either the valve or valve guide bores, the cylinder
heads should be inspected to determine if these markings are
present. If no markings are present, the guide bores are
standard. If oversize markings are present, any valve
replacement will require an oversize valve. If the oversize
marking is present, only that particular bore would be
oversize, not all bores in that cylinder head. Service valves
are available in five differenct stem diameters: Standard,
.003" oversize, .005" oversize, .010" oversize, and .013"
oversize.
REAMING PROCEDURE

should be cleaned using Tool BT-6415 as shown in Fig. 6A4-
31.
The procedure to ream valve guide bores using Tool BT-
6414 is shown in Fig. 6A4-32. Use care to hold reamer
straight in valve guide bore.
