VALVE GUIDE
Carbon accumulation of the valve guide will make the valve move rough, causing the valve not to open or
close properly.
Valve guide abrasion is one of the reasons that cause the exhaust pipe fuming white smoke.
CLEAN CARBON ACCUMULATION OF THE VALVE GUIDE
Remove the valve and valve springs.
Clean the carbon accumulation with a valve guide reamer.

When the abrasion of the valve guide exceeds the use limit, it should be replaced; after replacing
a new valve guide, the valve retainer must be adjusted.

The cylinder head must be wholly and quickly heated
to the specific degree, and cannot be heated partly;
otherwise it'll cause cylinder head distortion. The
temperature is very high, so two technicians are
recommended.

Do not damage the cylinder joint face.
