INITIAL SEAT CUT
• Using the 45° cutter, descale and clean up the seat. Rotate
the cutter one or two turns.
• Measure the valve seat width

after every cut.
• If the valve seat is pitted or burned, use the 45° cutter to con-
dition the seat some more.
NOTE:
Cut only the minimum amount necessary from the seat to pre-
vent the possibility of the valve stem becoming too close to the
camshaft.
TOP NARROWING CUT

is too high on the valve, or if it is too
wide, use the 15° (for the exhaust side) and the 30° (for the
intake side) to lower and narrow the contact area.
