• Q: How to Service and Repair Exhaust Valve and Intake Valves on 2009 Dodge Viper?

  A: Start by cleaning all your valves and then dispose of any that have any visible signs of burning, bending, warping or cracking. Check the valve stems for wear and the tips for signs of cracking or any irregular surface. Throw out any valves with damage. The valve stems are chrome plated, so you should not polish them. You can get rid of carbon and varnish from valve guides by using a quality guide cleaner. Measure the valve stem clearance after putting the valve into the cylinder head, with 14 mm (0.551 in.) separating the valve from the valve seat, supported by a short section of hose. Attach C-3339A dial indicator to a right angle with the valve stem you want to measure and open and close the valve to see the movement on the gauge. If the guide measures wrong, you should replace the cylinder head.
