Valve guides - Jeep I-6
Can the valve guides be replaced on an in-line 6 without pulling the head?
sorry for dumb questions and thanks. R. Griffith |
Re: Valve guides - Jeep I-6
In theory, yes. In practice? That's another matter.
You have to remove the cam shaft, then you can pressurize the cylinders one at a time, and remove the valve springs, then take the guides out and put new ones in.

> Can the valve guides be replaced on an in-line 6 without pulling the head? > sorry for dumb questions and thanks. "The only dumb question is the one left unasked." And yes, they can. But, you need something to keep the valves from falling in. Either compressed air into the cylinder (leakdown kit if you have one, or a long bit of cord you can pack in. You can also rotate the engine so the pistons are up for the cylinders your working on. Then use a bit of vac hose to hold onto the valves. (don't use vicegrips it farks up the surface) ... I know someone who did this then wondered why his new seals wore so fast. :/ amazing. While your in there you might want to go ahead and replace the valve springs. It's fairly cheap and the springs do weaken over time. Also check the push rods/rockers for proper wear pattern. -- -- DougW -- 93 ZJ 4.0 http://members.cox.net/wilsond HESCO Supercharger - 300W IASCA Stereo - Edelbrock IAS Shocks Gibson Exhaust - rear DCpower - custom gauge install - Stillen Rotors Banks Header - and BEER, in the fridge! |

Hi Ralf,
"Valve Guides" are an machinist operation, and done to an empty head, clamped to a gig, as part of a valve grind.
