[Fot] TR4 Valve Guide Clearance

[Tony Drews]

See

"Install guides if you are using the bronze
guides, they MUST have .004 stem clearance.  The
shops take some convincing, but if clearance is
less in these old engines, the heat will cause
the guide to shrink and the valve to stick,
perhaps destroying the entire engine."
