           gage manufacturer provides instructions for its use, but basically, you insert the base of the gage into the valve
           guide, adjust the measuring device to seat on the contact surface of the valve seat, and run the measuring device
           around the valve seat (fig 5-29).  The maximum reading reached on the dial indicator tells what the runout is.  The
           runout is then checked against the tolerance listed in the TM.








































           Valve Guide Inspection and Repair
           Although you may have repaired or replaced the valve seats, the valves will not seat properly unless the valve
           stem clearance is correct.  Check the valve stem clearance now to help ensure proper valve seating.  Measure
           the inside diameter of the valve guide with a telescopic gage and the outside diameter of the valve stem with a
           micrometer.  To obtain valve-to-guide clearance, subtract valve stem diameter from valve guide diameter. Check
           appropriate TM for proper specifications.
           If  the reading you have obtained is greater than the tolerance, either the valve or the valve guide must  be
           replaced.  Check the condition of both and determine which needs replacement.  In some cases, both may have
           to be replaced.  If the cylinder does not have replaceable guides, ream the guide and use an oversized valve.
           If the engine is equipped with replaceable valve guides and a visual inspection reveals that the valve guide is
           damaged beyond repair, it must be replaced.  To replace the valve guide, the old guide must be driven out of the
           cylinder head or cylinder block and a new one driven in.  This is accomplished by placing the valve guide remover
           inside the valve guide and drive the guide out through the cylinder head with a ballpeen hammer.
           When installing valve guides, use the appropriate valve guide installer tool and press (fig 5-30). Position valve
           guide squarely on guide bore and gently press guide into bore.  The installer will position guide to the correct
           depth.
           This should complete the repairs of the cylinder head, or in the case of the L-head engine, the cylinder block.  The
           final component to be repaired is the valve mechanism
           Valve and cylinder head installation servicing objectives
           1  Identify the correct procedure for installing each of the following components:  the valves, pushrods, rocker
              arm shaft, and cylinder head.
           2  Identify the correct tightening sequence for cylinder head bolts.
