Valve-to-Guide Clearance Measurement
If a small bore gauge is not available, inspect t he valve
guide wear by measuring the valve to valve guide clearance
with the wobble method as indicated below.
Insert a new valve [A] into the guide [B] and set a dial
gauge against the stem perpendicular to it as close as
possible to the cylinder head mating surface.
Move [C] t he stem back and forth to measure valve/valve
guide clearance.
Repeat the measurement in a direction at a right angle to
the first.
If the reading exceeds the service limit, replace the guide.
NOTE
The reading is not actual valve/valve guide clearance
because the measuring point is above the guide.
