Replacing Valve Guide
- Using the special tool (09221-3F000(A)), withdraw the old valve guide out the bottom of the cylinder head.
- Recondition the valve guide hole so that it can receive the newly press-fitted oversize valve guide.
- Using the special tool (09221-3F000(A), 09221-3F000(B)) press-fit the valve guide. The valve guide must be press-fitted from the upper side of the cylinder head. Keep in mind that the intake and exhaust valve guides are different in length.
- After the valve guide is press-fitted, insert a new valve and check for proper clearance.
- After the valve guide is replaced, check that the valve is fully seated. Recondition the valve seats as necessary.NOTE: Do not install a valve guide unless it is oversize.
