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 | Service Limit | |
Inlet | 0.03-0.12 mm | 0.29 mm |
Exhaust | 0.10-0.18 mm | 0.35 mm |
