• Valve seat repair:
A valve seat not producing a uniform contact with its valve or
showing width of seating contact that is out of specified
range must be repaired by regrinding or by cutting and
regrinding and finished by lapping.
a) EXHAUST VALVE SEAT : Use valve seat cutters (1) to
make two cuts as illustrated in figure. Two cutters must be
used: the first for making 15° angle, and the second for
making 45° angle. The second cut must be made to pro-
duce desired seat width.
Seat width for exhaust valve seat
"a" : 1.1 – 1.3 mm (0.0433 – 0.0512 in.)
b) INTAKE VALVE SEAT : Use valve seat cutters to make
three cuts as illustrated in figure. Three cutters must be
used: the 1st for making 15° angle, the 2nd for making 60°
angle, and 3rd for making 45° angle. The 3rd cut (45°) must
be made to produce desired seat width.

c) VALVE LAPPING : Lap valve on seat in two steps, first with

ond with fine-size compound, each time using valve lapper
according to usual lapping method.

NOTE:
Do not use any sharp-edged tool to scrape off carbon
deposits. Be careful not to scuff or nick metal surfaces
when decarbonizing. The same applies to valves and
valve seats, too.
