Correcting Valve and Valve Seat
NOTE
Q
• Before correcting the valve and seat, check the valve stem
and the I.D. of valve guide section, and repair them if
necessary.
• After correcting the valve seat, be sure to check the valve
recessing.
1) Correcting Valve
1. Correct the valve with a valve refacer.
2) Correcting Valve Seat
1. Slightly correct the seat surface with a 1.047 rad (60 °) (intake
valve) or 0.785 rad (45 °) (exhaust valve) valve seat cutter.
2. Resurface the seat surface with a 0.523 rad (30 °) valve seat
cutter to intake valve seat and with a 0.262 rad (15 °) valve seat
cutter to exhaust valve seat so that the width is close to specified
valve seat width.
3. After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve seating, apply a
thin film of compound between the valve face and valve seat, and
fit them with valve lapping tool.
4. Check the valve seating with prussian blue. The valve seating
surface should show good contact all the way around.
