CAUTION: Taking care not to damage the valve seat
contact surface, when removing carbon adhering to
the valve head.
Carefully inspect the valve stem for scratching or
abnormal wear. If these conditions are present, the
valve and the valve guide must be replaced as a set.
1. Valve Guide Clearance

2) Measure the inside diameter of the valve guide
with a micrometer.
3) Subtract the measured outer diameter of the
valve stem from the measured inner diameter of
the valve guide.
If the valve exceeds the specified limit, the valve
and the valve guide must be replaced as a set.
