6. INSPECT VALVE GUIDE BUSH OIL CLEARANCE

(a) Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the valve guide bush.

Standard Valve Guide Bush Inside Diameter:

5.51 to 5.53 mm (0.217 to 0.218 in.)

(b) Subtract the valve stem diameter measurement from the valve guide bush inside diameter measurement.
