Valve Guide: Service and Repair
REPLACEMENT
1. Use a commercially available air-impact valve guide driver attachment modified to fit the diameter of the valve guides. In most cases, the same
procedure can be done using the special tool and a conventional hammer.
2. Select the proper replacement guides, and chill them in the freezer section of a refrigerator for about an hour.
3. Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder head to 300°F (150°C). Monitor the temperature with a cooking thermometer.
CAUTION:
-
Do not use a torch; it may warp the head.
-
Do not get the head hotter than 300°F (150°C); excessive heat may loosen the valve seats.
-
To avoid burns, use heavy gloves when handling the heated cylinder head.
