ianmayco68 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi all , just starting on the engine rebuild for the project , and was cleaning up the valves and noticed there’s a slight amount of play between the valves and guides , just enough to notice it . Is this normal or should they be a snug fit ? If they need replacing is it a job you can do yourself ? Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Guides are pressed in, if you decide to replace them, I have a set of new guides, bought for my 200tdi rebuild but not required, engine machine shop said mine were hardly worn ofter 300,000 miles.

Bowie69 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 In the workshop manual it will have figures for valve to stem clearance, and maybe 'waggle' when fitted. Look em up and give it a check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
