  1. To remove valve guide, heat cylinder head to 110 to 130°C (230 to 266°F) by soaking in heated oil.
  2. Drive out valve guide with a press [under a 20 kN (2 ton, 2.2 US ton, 2.0 Imp ton) pressure] or hammer and suitable tool. CAUTION: Cylinder head contains heat. When working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.
  3. Using valve guide reamer (commercial service tool), ream cylinder head valve guide hole. Valve guide hole diameter (for service parts): Intake and exhaust: 10.175 - 10.196 mm (0.4006 - 0.4014 in)
  4. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130°C (230 to 266°F) by soaking in heated oil.
  5. Using valve guide drift (commercial service tool), press valve guide from camshaft side to the dimensions as in (Scheme 290). Projection "L". Intake and exhaust: 12.6 - 12.8 mm (0.496 - 0.504 in) CAUTION: Cylinder head contains heat. When working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.

Scheme 292: VALVE SEAT CONTACT
  1. After confirming that the dimensions of valve guides and valves are within the specifications, perform this procedure.
  2. Apply prussian blue (or white lead) onto contacting surface of valve seat to check the condition of the valve contact on the surface.
  3. Check if the contact area band is continuous all around the circumference.
  4. If not, grind to adjust valve fitting and check again. If the contacting surface still has "NG" conditions even after the re-check, replace valve seat, Refer to " «VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT»(ref-170482-S20129329662005011000000) ".
