| + | ==Exhaust valve guides== | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{Note1}}The following is an excerpt from an AERA technical bulletin: | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Exhaust Valve Guide Caution On 1965-98 GM Big Block Engines''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | These engines' valve guides were not intended as a replacement item from GM. | ||
| + | The guides were located into the head castings after the head was cast and | ||
| + | the exhaust guide is "water cooled". | ||
| + | The water-cooled guide also has two different size press fit diameters. Adding additional confusion to the matter, they also switched the location of the larger diameter sometime in 1985. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To determine which outside diameter guide you have and which direction to | ||
| + | remove an exhaust valve guide, the following procedure is suggested: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Drive the guide no more than 0.250" (6.35 mm) toward the valve spring side of | ||
| + | the head and stop. Then, measure the newly exposed area of the guide | ||
| + | OD next to the spring pad. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the measurement is 0.620" it is the first style guide. To remove this | ||
| + | style guide, continue driving it toward the valve spring side of the head. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the measurement is 0.616" , it is the second style guide. To remove | ||
| + | this style guide, you must drive it the opposite direction toward the combustion | ||
| + | chamber side of the head. | ||
