3. Using the special tool (09222-32200), press-fit the valve guide. The valve guide must be press-fit from the upper side of the cylinder head. Keep in mind that the valve guides differ in length.





4. After the valve guide is press-fit, insert a new valve and check for proper clearance.
5. After the valve guide has been replaced, check for proper valve face-to-valve seat contact.

NOTE: Do not re-install a valve guide of the same size.
