VALVE GUIDE MAINTENANCE (Contd)

NOTE

All valve guides are replaced the same. This procedure covers

typical valve guides.

REMOVAL

Press valve guides (1) from bottom of cylinder head (2) to drive them out the top of cylinder head (2).

INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Valve guide must be installed perpendicular to cylinder head to

prevent damage to cylinder head.

Position and tap new valve guides (1) into cylinder head (2) until the top surface of the valve

guides (1) protrude 0.886-0.926 in. (22.5-23.5 mm) above the cylinder head.

Press valve guides (1) into cylinder head (2).

Apply lubricating oil to valve guides (1).

NOTE

Intake and exhaust valves are different sizes. Use appropriate

valve when performing step 4.

Using new valves (3), check if valve guides (1) allow for proper travel smooth insertion of

valves (3).

REAMING

CAUTION

Improper reaming of valve guide may result in damage to cylinder

head. Ensure valve guide reamer is in proper alignment before

work begins.

Using reamer, remove material from valve guides (1) to allow proper travel of valves (3).

WARNING

Compressed air source will not exceed 30 psi (207 kPa). When

cleaning with compressed air, eye protection must be worn.

Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel

2. Clear debris from valve guides (1) and cylinder head (2) with compressed air.

INSPECTION

1. Use bore gauge and check inner diameter of valve guides (1) for the following dimensions:

a. 0.3181 in. (8.080 mm) maximum.

b. 0.3163-0.3171 in. (8.035-8.055 mm) miminum.

2. Replace valve guide(s) (1) if they do not conform to these requirements.
