4. Lap:
• Valve face
• Valve seat
NOTE:
After replacing the cylinder head or replacing
the valve and valve guide, the valve seat and
valve face should be lapped.
CAUTION:
ECA4C81012
This model uses titanium intake valves.
Titanium valves that have been used to lap
the valve seats must not be used. Always
replace lapped valves with new valves.
NOTE:
• When replacing the cylinder head, replace
the valves without lapping the valve seats
and valve faces.
• When replacing the valves or valves guides,
use new valves to lap the valve seats, and
then replace them with new valves.

Do not let the lapping compound enter the
gap between the valve stem and the valve
guide.
b. Apply molybdenum disulfide oil onto the
valve stem.
c. Install the valve into the cylinder head.
d. Turn the valve until the valve face and valve
seat are evenly polished, then clean off all
of the lapping compound.

For the best lapping results, lightly tap the
valve seat while rotating the valve back and
forth between your hands.
