A sharp light tap on the valve collar may be necessary to free the taper split collet. It
will be observed that the valve spring seat has a raised impression on its under side
which registers with a hole drilled on the valve guide boss to ensure accurate positioning.
To remove an inlet valve guide, thoroughly clean protruding end of guide to be removed.
