Remove/replace Cub valve guides
Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2014 12:50 pm
I'm ready for this step in the restoration of my 1948 Cub. I'm following the procedures in the GSS-1411 service manual.
On p. 1-21 the instructions are to "press the guides from the crankcase". It looks like the term "crankcase" is the same as "engine block" in this manual. So which direction to remove the guides---from the top of the block downward in the direction of the crankshaft or the opposite direction?
The instruction for installing the guides is "install new guides from the top of the crankcase and press them into the crankcase bores to a measured distance of 1-3/32 inch from the top surface of the block to the top center of the guide". This seems pretty clear.
Thanks for your help.
