Valve stem diameter

[bdento59]

Anyone have the valve stem diameters handy? TIA

The stems are 5.5mm.

Thank you, Sir!

Too bad they're not a little smaller, like 5.0mm, would be interesting to try the MotionPro valve seal installer tool

It should still work, I would think...On the other side, a right size Phillips screwdriver and an appropriate socket will make a nice tool for that purpose.

Or take one of your valves and turn it upside down, slide the valve stem seal on pointing down towards the tip of the stem, and slide the valve upside down into the top of the valve guide. Easy then to slide the seal down and put it onto the top of the guide.

And +1 on using a socket. A small socket about the size of the valve stem seal slid on first makes installation a snap, remembering to smear the inner surface of the seal that sits around the perimeter of the valve guide top with some clean engine oil first.
