Valve Guide

Measure valve guide height from spring seat to top edge of guide. If valve guide height is not within specification, replace valve guide. See CYLINDER HEAD  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Measure valve stem-to-guide clearance. If clearance is not within specification, replace valve and/or valve guide.

NOTE: Always reface valve seat after replacing valve guide.
