Checking valve guides
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Universal dial gauge holder - VW 387-

flush with the guide. On account of differing stem diameters,
only use inlet valve in inlet guide and exhaust valve in exhaust
guide.
– Determine rock. Wear limit: 0.8 mm
If the amount of sideways play is exceeded:

Procedure
Note

When repairing engines with leaking valves, it is not sufficient
to rework or renew valve seats and valves. Particularly on high
mileage engines, it is necessary also to check valve guides for
♦
Valve seats are only to be reworked to the extent required to
yield a proper surface appearance. Before beginning to rework
valve seats, calculate the maximum permissible reworking di‐
mensions. If the reworking dimension is exceeded, the hy‐
draulic valve clearance compensation can no longer be
guaranteed and the cylinder head must be renewed.
