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.
