Procedure:
– Secure the cylinder head with the combustion
chamber upright in a vise with protective jaw
coverings. The valve guide to be reamed should be
positioned vertically.
– Insert the top (tap wrench end) of the reamer into
the guide block, then insert reamer into valve guide
(reamer cut diameter is larger than guide block pilot
hole, which is ground to match reamer shaft size).
– Place the guide block, item #1, on the valve seat.
This block guides the reamer. When reaming, press
the guide block into the valve seat with two fingers.
– Turn reamer with a tap wrench .. never use an
electric drill! Powering the reamer with a drill
will dull the reamer and create a larger hole than
intended.
Note: Start the reaming operation using reamer #004 601 (8.2
mm), item #2. Lubricate with thread-cutting oil only.
– Turn reamer clockwise, never counterclockwise.
– Clean reamer at frequent intervals, turning in
cutting direction only.
– When reaming is complete, remove the reamer downwards
through the guide.
Complete the reaming operation using the finish
reamer – part #004 602 (8.3 mm).
– After the valve guide has been finish-reamed,
resurface the valve seat.
Tool Note: 8.3 mm solid pilots for Neway valve seat cutting
equipment can be purchased from The Carlson Companyb y
calling 1-800-222-6199.
