Check
NOTE:
Refer to the appropriate Section 303-01 for the specification.
NOTE:
Valve guides tend to wear in an hourglass pattern.
The ball gauge can be inserted into the combustion chamber side of the
valve guide, if necessary.
Use a ball gauge to determine the inside diameter of
the valve guides in 2 directions at the top, middle and bottom of the
valve guide...
