         Valve stem ø 7 mm: 3121
    from the camshaft side (valve guides with collar -service version- from the combustion chamber side).

Installing

  • ‒ Coat new guides with oil and press in with 10-206/3121 from the camshaft side with head cold until shoulder makes contact.

Note:

When the shoulder on guide makes contact, the pressure must not exceed 10 kN (approx. 1.0 t) otherwise shoulder may break off.

  • ‒ Ream guides out with hand reamer
         Valve stem ø 8 mm: 10-215
         Valve stem ø 7 mm: 3120
    using plenty of cutting fluid.
