deformations or signs of wear.
Warning
The valves cannot be ground.
Perform the following checks: measure the diameter of the valve stem (D) at various heights along the portion that runs
in the valve guide.
Check that valve head band (at 45° to valve head top face) is concentric to the valve stem as follows: place the valve on
a V block, set a dial gauge at right angles to the head and rotate the valve.
