VALVE GUIDES
On FirePower Engines drive out guides
through top of cylinder heads with Tool DD-

Install as follows: Turn cylinder head with
combustion chamber facing up. Drive valve
guides into position with a suitable driver to
dimensions shown in Figure 15. After new
valve guides have been installed, ream each
guide .374 to .375 inch with Tool

REFACING VALVES AND VALVE SEATS
The intake and exhaust valves are faced to a
45 degree angle. When refacing valve, always
check remaining margin (Fig. 16). Valves with
less than %
4
inch margin should be discarded.
The angle of both valve and seat should be
identical. When refacing valve seats with Tool
MTH-80, it is important that correct size valve
guide pilot be used for reseating stones. A true
and complete surface must be obtained. Check
concentricity of valve seat using a dial indi-
cator
