Haynes tells me that the width of the inlet valve guides tolerance in my engine is just over 5.5mm and that while i'm replacing the valves I should measure the width of the guide at three points vertically along the guide..
I can't do this with a bore micrometer, is there a specific tool for doing this that i'm not aware of?
Bakcup plan, stick a new valve into the guide and see how wobbly it is I guess?  ____________________ Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it. - Elwood P. Dowd |
