Operating Procedures - E-Z-GO Engine Shop Rebuild Manual

If the manufacture's instructions are not available, use
the following procedure:
Seat Cutter Operating Cares
1. The valve seat cutter is designed only for valve
seat repair. Therefore the cutter must not be used
for other purposes.
2. Do not drop or hit the valve seat cutter, or the dia-
mond particles may fall off.
3. Do not fail to apply engine oil to the valve seat cut-
ter before grinding the seat surface. Also, use
washing oil to wash off ground particles sticking to
the cutter.
Do not use a wire brush to remove the metal particles from the
cutter. It will take off the diamond particles.
4.
Setting the valve seat cutter holder [A] in position,
operate the cutter [B] with one hand [C]. Do not
apply too much force to the diamond portion.
Prior to grinding, apply oil to the cutter, and during the operation
use washing oil to wash off any ground particles sticking to the
cutter.
5. After use, wash the cutter with washing oil and
apply a thin layer of engine oil before storing.

sent the following:

Operating Procedures

A. Clean the seat area carefully.
B. Coat the seat with machinist's dye.
C. Fit a 45° cutter to the holder and slide it into the valve
guide.
D. Press down lightly on the handle and turn it right or
left.
E. Grind the seating surface only until it is smooth.
Do not grind the seat too much. Overgrinding will reduce valve
clearance by sinking the valve into the head. If the valve sinks
too far into the head, it will be impossible to adjust the clear-
ance, and the cylinder head must be replaced.
F. Measure the outside diameter (O.D.) of the seating
surface with a vernier caliper.
G. If the O.D. of the seating surface is too small, repeat
the 45° grind until the diameter is within the specified
range.
H. If the O.D. of the seating surface is too large, make
the 32° grind described below.
