Installation height of valves, check > < Inner diameter of valve guide, check

Valve stem play, determine

Special service tools required:

MKM-6216, MKM-6216-200/300/400, Micrometer Screw

Note:   The engine-specific values can be found in the corresponding "Technical Data".

Note:   The components of the dial gauge must be assembled according to the following instructions.

  Assemble

Insert extension (3) in holder (2) and fasten. Insert internal caliper (4) in extension and fasten. Attach holder with extension and internal caliper to the dial gauge (1) with approx. 1 mm pretension and fasten. Fit calibration disc (5) for adjusting the dial gauge onto the internal caliper. Adjust dial gauge to Zero by turning dial. Carefully remove calibration disc.

  Measure

Determine inner diameter of valve guide at three different levels, note values. Calculate mean value.

Calculation example:

Inner diameter of valve guide:

Measurement I

7.025 mm

   

Measurement II

7.030 mm

   

Measurement III

7.020 mm

   
 

21.075 mm

: 3 =

7.025 mm

       

Mean value = 7.025

  Measure

Determine valve stem diameter on cleaned valve using micrometer screw, note value.

The valve stem play can only be determined by calculation.

Calculation example:

Mean value of valve guide inner diameter

7.025 mm

Valve stem diameter

-7.000 mm

Gives a mean valve stem play of:

= 0.025 mm


The difference between the mean inner diameter of the valve guide (7.025 mm) and the outer diameter of the valve stem (7.000 mm) gives a mean valve stem play of (0.025 mm).

The permissible valve stem play is found in the "Technical Data".

Procedure

If the tolerances are exceeded, the valve guides must be reamed and the appropriate oversize valves installed.

The specified values can be found in the "Technical Data".
