- Insert valve with valve head positioned .400" (10 mm) above cylinder head gasket surface. Attach dial indicator to cylinder head and position against valve head at right angle to valve stem.
- Rock valve in guide and measure guide wear as shown on dial indicator. Maximum clearance is .020" (.5 mm) on intake valves and .027" (.7 mm) on exhaust valves.
- If valve guide clearance is excessive, guides should either be reamed to next oversize or replaced. Service valves are available in .006" (.15 mm), .016" (.40 mm) and .032" (.80 mm) oversize.
NOTE:
Do not ream valve guides from standard to maximum oversize. Ream guides oversize in steps so guides may be reamed true in relation to valve seat.
