Lapping The Valves
NOTE:
Before lapping the valves to the seats ensure that all related parts are in
acceptable condition.
NOTE:
Before any valve seat machining and/or lapping can be performed, the guides
must be within factory recommended specifications.
1. Invert the cylinder head.
2. Lightly lubricate the valve stems and insert them into the cylinder head in their
numbered order.
3. Remove the valve from the seat and apply a small amount of fine lapping
compound to the valve face. Reinstall the valve into the guide.
4. Moisten the suction head of a hand-lapping tool and attach it to the head of the
valve.
5. Rotate the tool between the palms of both hands, changing the position of the
valve on the valve seat and lifting the tool often to prevent grooving.
6. Lap the valve until a smooth, polished circle is evident on the valve and seat.
7. Remove the tool and valve. Wipe away all traces of the grinding compound and
store the valve to maintain its original location.
NOTE:
Match the valves to their numbered cylinders. They must be matched with the
same valve seat with which they were lapped
Springs, Retainers & Valve Locks
There is no repair or refinishing possible with the springs, retainers and valve locks. Worn
or defective springs, retainers and valve locks must be replaced with new (or known good)
parts.
Valve Guide
NOTE:
If any machining or replacements are made to the valve guides, the valve seats
must be machined.
Unless the valve guides need machining or replacing, the only service to perform is to
thoroughly clean them.
There are only two types of valve guides used on automobile engines: the replaceable-
type (all aluminum heads) and the cast-in integral-type (most cast iron heads). There are
four recommended methods for repairing worn guides:
Knurling
Inserts
Reaming
Replacing
