1.7 Inspecting valve face
Apply a thin coat of Shinmyoutan or equivalent lead-free
coloring paste on the valve face, and strike the valve face
against the valve seat using a valve lapper to check for
contact condition. If the contact is not even, or any defects
are found, or if the limit is exceeded, reface or replace the
valve.
Note: (a) Inspect the valve face after the valve guide is
repaired or replaced.
(b) Do not rotate the valve when pressing the valve
face coated with Shinmyoutan or equivalent lead-
free dye against the valve seat.
(c) Always lap the valve and valve seat after the
valve has been refaced or replaced.
