Insert a new valve [A] into the guide [B] and set a dial gauge against the stem perpendicular to it as close as possible to the cylinder head mating surface.
Move the stem back and forth [C] to measure valve/valve guide clearance.

Repeat the measurement in a direction at a right angle to the first.
★ If the reading exceeds the service limit, replace the guide.
Note. The reading is not actual valve/valve guide clearance because the measuring point is above the guide.
Valve/valve guide clearance (wobble method):
Standard:
- Exhaust 0.09-0.17 mm (0.0035-0.0067 in.)
- Inlet 0.03-0.11 mm (0.012-0.0043 in.)
Service Limit:
- Exhaust 0.38 mm (0.015 in.)
- Inlet 0.26 mm (0.010 in.)
