- If bore diameter is.4325-.4333 in. (10.986-11.006 mm), use standard valve guide. If bore diameter exceeds.4333 in. (11.006 mm), machine valve guide bore to.4344-.4353 in. (11.034-11.057 mm) for oversize valve guide. Replace cylinder head if bore diameter exceeds.4353 in. (11.057 mm). CAUTION: Exhaust valve guide is 1.594 in. (40.49 mm) long, and intake valve guide is 1.516 in. (38.51 mm) long. Ensure proper length valve guide is installed.
- To install valve guide, use hammer and valve guide remover/installer. Drive valve guide in from camshaft side of cylinder head.
- Using caliper, measure valve guide installed height from top of valve guide to valve spring seat area on cylinder head. (Scheme 30) Valve guide must be installed to appropriate height. See «CYLINDER HEAD»(ref-159232-S11734303692003111900000) table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.

- Measure cylinder bore diameter .39 in. (10.0 mm) from top and bottom of cylinder bore, and at middle of cylinder bore. To determine piston clearance, subtract piston diameter from bore diameter measurement. Replace pistons or cylinder block if clearance is not within specification. See «PISTONS, PINS & RINGS»(ref-159232-S09322368152003111900000) table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.

- If size mark on original rod bearing cannot be obtained, the size of replacement bearing insert can be determined by adding size mark No. on crankshaft and size mark No. on connecting rod cap together. For example, if size mark on crankshaft is "2" and size mark on connecting rod cap is "1", use rod bearing with size mark "3".
- Ensure connecting rod is installed with front mark toward front of engine. see scheme 23 Check connecting rod bearing clearance using Plastigage method. Ensure bearing oil clearance and connecting rod side play are within specification. See «CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS»(ref-159232-S00989288542003111900000) table and «CONNECTING RODS»(ref-159232-S24960226942003111900000) table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
