Valve Guide Servicing

  1. Measure clearance between valve stem and guide. If clearance exceeds specifications, valve guides must be replaced.
  2. If valve guide being replaced has a snap ring installed, break guide using punch and hammer (only replacement valve guides have snap rings). Using driver tool (09201-60011), drive old guide down through combustion chamber.
  3. Drive in new valve guide from top of head until snap ring contacts cylinder head. Guide should have 0.75" (19 mm) protrusion above cylinder head. Ream new valve guide to provide proper stem clearance.
