Valve Guides
Replacement (cont'd)
Working from the camshaft side, use the driver andan air hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm (0.1 in)towards the combustion chamber. This will knock offsome of the carbon and make removal easier.
CAUTION:
. Always wear satety goggles or a face shield when
driving valve guides.
. Hold the air hammer directly in line with thevalve guide to prevent damaging the driver.
Turn the head over, and drive the guide out towardthe camshaft side of the head.

It a valve guide still won't move, drill it out with a8 mm {5/16 in) bit, then try again.
CAUTION: Drill guides only in extreme cases; you
could damage the cylinder head it the guide breaks.
6. Remove the new guides from the freezer, one at atime, as you need them.

I7. Apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the outsideof the new valve guide. Install the guide from thecamshaft side of the head; use the special tool todrive the guide in to the specified insralled height. lfyou have all 16 guides to do, you may have to reheat
the head.

Removal
NOTE:
. Replace the timing belt at 105,000 mites (168,000 km)according to the maintenance schedule (normal con-ditions/severe conditions).
lf the vehicle is regularly driven in one or more of thefollowing conditions, replace the timing belt at 60,OOOmiles (U.S.A.) 100,000 km {Canada).. In very high temperatures (over 110"F, 43"C).. In very low temperatures (under -20.F, 29.C).. Turn the crankshaft pulley so the No. 1 piston is attop dead center (TDC) before removing the belt (seepage 6-57).
. Inspect the water pump before installing the timingbelt {see page 10-14).

Removal
Engine removal is not required for this procedure.
!@@ Make sure jacks and safety stands are placed
properly and hoist brackels are attached to correst posi-
tion on the engine,
CAUTION:
o Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted sur-
faces.
To avoid damage, unplug the wiling connectors
carelully while holding the connector portion.
To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the
engine coolant temperature drops below 100"F {38'Cl
before loosening the retaining bolt.
NOTE:
. Unspecified items are common.
. Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
AIso, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses or interfere with other parts.
o Inspect the timing belt before removing the cylinder
n eao.
. Turn the crankshaft pulley so that the No. 1 piston is
at top dead center (see page 6-64).
1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
Drain the engine coolant {see page 10-7).
. Remove the radiator cap to speed draining.
Remove the strut brace (see page 5-2).
Remove the intake air duct and air cleaner housing
(see page 5-3).
Remove the adjusting bolt and mounting bolt, then

1. As illustrated below, use a commerciallv available
air-impact valve guide driver attachment modified
to fit the diameter of the valve guides. ln most
cases, the same procedure can be done using the

Select the proper replacement guides and chill
them in the freezer section of a refrigerator for
about an hour.
Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder
head to 300"F (150"C). Monitor the temperature with
a cooking thermometer.
CAUTION:
. Do not use a torch; it may warp tho head.. Do not get tho head hotter than 300"F {150"C};excesgive heat may loosen thg valve seats.. To avoid burns. use haaw gloves whon handling
the heatod cylinder head.

lf a valve guide still won't move. drill it out with a8.0 mm (5/16 in) bit, then try again.
CAUTION: Drill guides only in extreme cases; you
could damago the cylinder head if ths guide br6aks.
Remove the new guide(s) from the freezer, one at a
time, as vou need them.
