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.
1) Exhaust valve seat:
Use valve seat cutters (1) to make two cuts as
illustrated in the 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
produce desired seat width.
Seat width for exhaust valve seat
"a": 1.0 – 1.4 mm (0.0389 – 0.0551 in.)
2) Intake valve seat:
Use valve seat cutters (1) to make three cuts as
illustrated in the figure. Three cutters must be used:
the 1st for making 25° 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.
