Valve guides without shoulder from the camshaft side.

Valve guides with shoulder (repair version) from the combustion chamber side.

  • ‒ Coat new guides with oil and press in with 10-206 from camshaft side (cylinder head cold) until shoulder makes contact.
  • ‒ Ream guides out with hand reamer 10-215 using plenty of cutting fluid.
