Valves and Valve Guides Inspection

Valve Guide
Valve stem-to-guide clearance
Using a micrometer and bore gauge, take diameter
readings on valve stems and guides to check stem-to-
guide clearance.
Be sure to take reading at more than one place along the
length of each stem and guide.
If clearance exceeds limit, replace valve and valve
guide.

Valve stem end deflection
If bore gauge is not available, check end deflection of
valve stem with a dial gauge instead.
Move stem end in directions (1) and (2) to measure end
deflection.
If deflection exceeds its limit, replace valve stem and
valve guide.
Valve stem end deflection limit
In: 0.14 mm (0.005 in.)
Ex: 0.18 mm (0.007 in.)

Valve
Visual inspection
• Remove all carbon from valves.
• Inspect each valve for wear, burn or distortion at its
face and stem end, as necessary, replace it.
• Inspect valve stem end face for pitting and wear. If
pitting or wear is found there, valve stem end may be
resurfaced, but not too much to grind off its chamber.
When it is worn out too much that its chamber is gone,
replace valve.
Valve head thickness
Measure thickness "a" of valve head. If measured
thickness exceeds limit, replace valve.
Valve head thickness "a" (In and Ex)
Standard: 1.25 – 1.55 mm (0.049 – 0.061 in.)
Limit: 0.9 mm (0.035 in.)
