Have a new set of valve guides and valves.The guides need reaming. Honda tech manual says 5.475-5.485mm or 0.2156 0.2159ins. Seems a funny size. I have seen advertised on the internet the "Correct" Honda tool set at 5.5 ins. Any comments.
Cheers,
Pete. :idea:

My fault, obviously the last line should read 5.5mm.

HI Wanus. So I can get away with reaming the guides at 5.5mm? If that is so, thanks for the info.
Regards,
Pete.

Sorry mate... I was only referring to the reading/writing mistake you made.
If that is the original Honda tool for the head, I would use that one.

My guess would be that 5.475-5.485mm is the correct fabrication diameter.
5.5mm would be the 'commercial' notation.
