Measuring the height of protrusion of the valve guide

Fig. 2.143. Measured height: 1 - Valve deflected directly; 2 - cylinder head

Measure the height of the protrusion (dimension A) of each valve guide without lower valve spring seat (Fig. 2.143).

If the height is not correct, replace the valve guide.

Standard diameter:

- Inlet: 12,2-12,8 mm;

- Issue: 12,2-12,8 mm.
