VALVE STEM WEAR
Measure the valve stem O.D. using the micrometer. If it is out of
specification, replace the valve with a new one. If the valve stem
O.D. is within specification but the valve stem deflection is not,
replace the valve guide. After replacing the valve or valve guide,
re-check the deflection.
