rections (at right angles to each other) using a suitably positioned dial gauge.
Intake valve: normal clearance: 0.008 - 0.035 mm
Service limit: 0.05 mm (0.0019 in.).
Exhaust valve: normal clearance: 0.018 - 0.045 mm
Service limit: 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.).

Remove the valve guide from the cylinder head using a suitable punch.
