5) Remove stem seal (1) from valve guide using special 

tool.

Special tool
(A):  09916–48110 

Reassembly

1) Apply engine oil to valve guide bore and valve stem, 

and install valve (1) to valve guide.

2) Install valve stem seal using special tool (A) as 

follows.

Special tool
(A):  09917–96530

a) Install fitting (2) to valve stem in order to prevent 

stem seal from damage, and install stem seal (1) 
to valve stem.

NOTE

• Be sure to remove special tool after 

installing stem seal.

• Do not lubricate the valve stem seal before 

fitting.

 

b) Place pushrod (1) which is measured stem seal 

height in removal.

c) Press into stem seal tapping top of pushrod (1) 

by hand until tube (2) touches cylinder head.

CAUTION

!

 

Do not tap pushrod (1) by hammer.It may 
result in misinstalling of stem seal and 
damage of special tool.

Valves and Valve Guides Inspection

S5JB0B1406027

Valve Guide
Valve stem-to-guide clearance
Using a micrometer and bore gauge, take diameter readings on valve stems and guides to check stem-to-guide 
clearance.
Be sure to take reading at more than one place along the length of each stem and guide.
If clearance is out specification, replace valve and valve guide.

Valve stem diameter [A]
In: 6.974 – 6.996 mm (0.27457 – 0.27543 in.)
Ex: 6.960 – 6.982 mm (0.27402 – 0.27488 in.)

Valve guide bore [B]
In: 7.000 – 7.022 mm (0.27560 – 0.27645 in.)
Ex: 7.000 – 7.022 mm (0.27560 – 0.27645 in.)

Stem-to-guide clearance
In: 0.004 – 0.048 mm (0.00016 – 0.00188 in.)
Ex: 0.018 – 0.062 mm (0.00071 – 0.00244 in.)

Valve
Visual inspection
• Remove all carbon from valves.
• Inspect each valve for wear, burn or distortion at its 

face and stem end, as necessary, replace it.

• Inspect valve stem end face for pitting and wear. If 

pitting or wear is found there, valve stem end may be 
resurfaced, but not too much to grind off its chamber. 
When it is worn out too much that its chamber is gone, 
replace valve.
