A cross section of a cylinder head for a turbocharged engine and turbocharged aftercooled engines

(1) Valve spring

The installed length of the valve springs ... 36.17 mm (1.4240 inch)

The load for the installed valve spring ... 312 N (70 lb)

(2) Valve spring recess

(3) The finished valve guides

Inside diameter of valve guide ... 9.000 to 9.022 mm (0.3543 to 0.3552 inch)

Outside diameter of the valve guide ... 13.034 to 13.047 mm (0.5131 to 0.5137 inch)

Interference fit of valve guide in cylinder head ... 0.007 to 0.047 mm (0.0003 to 0.0019 inch)

Length of Valve guide ... 51.00 to 51.50 mm (2.018 to 2.027 inch)

Projection of the valve guide above the valve spring recess (2) ... 12.35 to 12.65 mm (0.486 to 0.498 inch)

Note: When new valve guides are installed, new valves and new valve seat inserts must be installed. The valve guides and the valve seat inserts are supplied as partially finished parts. The unfinished valve guides and unfinished valve seat inserts are installed in the cylinder head. The guides and inserts are then cut and reamed in one operation with special tooling. This procedure ensures the concentricity of the valve seat to the valve guide to create a seal that is tight. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly for removal and installation procedures.
