* The valve seat contact area must be inspected after
each cut.
* Do not use lapping compound after the final cut is
made. The finished valve seat should have a velvety
smooth finish but not a highly polished or shiny fin-
ish. This will provide a soft surface for the final seat-
ing of the valve which will occur during the first few
seconds of engine operation.
NOTE:
After servicing the valve seats, be sure to check the valve clear-
ance after the cylinder head has been reinstalled. (  2-7)
