  Q: How to service and repair the exhaust valve and intake valve while ensuring proper measurements on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

  A: Services and repairs on the valve begin with measuring the valve stem diameter against specs then proceeding with valve stem-to-valve guide clearance testing. The use of magnetic bases should be implemented for stability needs. Use a Valve Guide Clearance Gauge to attach on the valve stem and join it with a Dial Indicator Gauge secured by a Holding Fixture. Engage the valve regulator to make the upper surface of the valve guide meet the clearance gauge. Adjust the clearance gauge toward the indicator before setting the indicator at zero position. Move the clearance gauge away from the indicator to collect a measurement that will equal double the valve stem distance from the guide.
