b. Remove carbon from valve guide.
c. Measure valve stem OD with an outside micrometer caliper. Refer to Figure 6-4, Sheet 1) for

in. (6.010 and 6.025 mm).
e. Calculate oil clearance (refer to Figure 6-4). Clearance should be between 0.00118 and
0.00224 in. (0.030 and 0.057 mm) with an allowable limit of 0.0039 in. (0.10 mm). If clearance
exceeds allowable limit, replace valve and valve guide (para 6.8.) (Figure 6-4) (Sheet 1).
