Q: How Should the Intake Valve and Exhaust Valve Be Inspected for Signs of Damage and Wear on Lincoln LS?
A: Examine the valve by looking for grooves or scoring on the stem's end, checking the valve face and edge for pits or scores, assessing the valve head for burning, erosion, warpage, and cracks, and evaluating the valve margin for signs of wear.
Q: How Do Exhaust Valve and Intake Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearances Affect Service and Repair on Lincoln MKX?
A: The first step to service the valve is to examine valve stem diameter and clearance. The former must use a magnetic base to hold it and fit a Valve Guide Clearance Gauge to the stem, then a Dial Indicator Gauge. Note the reading following zeroing of the gauge which will be twice the valve stem-to-guide clearance.
