edge of the valve head at 90º to the camshaft axis.
With the dial indicator in this position and the end of

the valve head from side to side at right angles to the
camshaft axis as far as the clearance will allow and
note the indicator reading.
If the valve head deflection exceeds the specification
for inlet or exhaust valves the guide in question is
worn excessively and should be replaced.
2. If the valve guide is not within specifications,
remove the valve guide and install a new valve
