a. If the valve guide inside diameter is be-
yond serviceable limits, replace with an
oversize valve guide.

(I.D.) (IN.EX) / (0.315 - 0.316 in)
b. Measuring the clearance between valve
and valve guide.
1)
Insert the valve into the valve guide in
the cylinder head and measure the
clearance in both the X and Y axes,
using a small dial gauge.
2) If the measured clearance is greater
than 0.10 mm (0.0039 in) for the
inlet valve or 0.12 mm (0.0047 in) for
the exhaust valve, both the valve and
valve guide should be replaced. The
replacement valve guide should be one
that is oversize.

c. To ease guide removal and reinstallation,
and to maintain the correct interference
fit, heat the head to 100°C. Use an oven
to avoid any possibility of head warpage
due to uneven heating.
d. Use the appropriate shouldered punch

and drive the new guide in.

valve clearance.
After fitting the valve guide into the
cylinder head, be sure to grind the valve
seat, and perform valve lapping. The valve
must be replaced with a new one.
Grinding the valve seat.
The valve seat is subject to severe wear
similar to valve face. Whenever the valve
face is resurfaced, the valve seat should
also be re-surfaced at a 45° angle. In
addition, if a new valve guide has been
installed (without any valve repair), the
valve seat should be checked to guarantee
complete sealing between the valve face
and seat.
CAUTION :
If the valve seat is obviously pitted or
worn, it should be cleaned with a valve
seat cutter. Use the 45° cutter, and
when twisting the cutter, keep an even
downward pressure to prevent chatter
marks.
If cutting section "A" of the valve seat,
use the 8R cutter (radius cutter). If
cutting section "B", use the 45° cutter.
nic's bluing dye (such as Dykem) to the
valve face, apply a very small amount of
fie grinding compound around the surface
of the valve seat, insert the valve into
position, and spin the valve quickly back
and forth. Lift the valve, clean off all
grinding compound, and check valve seat
