Caution

Valve oversizes may already be fitted in production.

Caution

Reamers have a left-hand twist and must always be screwed both in and out clockwise. Never turn the reamers backwards (anti-clockwise). The shavings produced during material removal would become trapped and destroy the cutting edges.

Procedure

Ream valve guide from upper side of cylinder head to next oversize.

Screw reamer evenly into the valve guide exerting light pressure. Visually inspect the valve guide after reaming (chatter marks). The old identification must be obliterated (if present), and a new identification must be embossed.

Clean

Residual material must be removed from the valve guides and cylinder head after working.
