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 condi-
tion the seat some more.

Cut only the minimum amount necessary from the seat to pre-
vent the possibility of the valve stem becoming too close to the
camshaft.

W
is too wide or too low, use the 60° cutter
