Valve Guide Installation

  1. Cool new valve guides in freezer for about one hour. Remove new valve guides from freezer as needed. Slip a 15/64" (6 mm) steel washer and appropriate driver attachment over Valve Guide Driver (07742-0010100).
  2. Install new valve guides from camshaft side of cylinder head. Drive each guide into heated head until driver attachment bottoms on head. If replacing all valve guides, reheat cylinder head as necessary.
  3. Valve guide installed height must be .4941-.5138" (12.55-13.05 mm). Using cutting oil, ream new valve guides by rotating Valve Guide Reamer (07HAH-PJ7010A) clockwise full length of valve guide bore. Measure valve stem oil clearance. See CYLINDER HEAD table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS  .
NOTE: Always reface valve seat after replacing valve guide.
