Fig. 1
Apply abrasive paste to the tapered area of the
valve seat.
Lubricate the valve guide and insert the valve.
Fig. 2
Use a valve grinder to reface the valve seat by ap-
plying moderate axial pressure and describing a
turning motion.
Note:
Keep the valve stem and the valve guide
free of abrasive paste.
Fig. 3
The valve seat must have a faultless, contained
grinding pattern.
The grinding pattern width is correct if the valve
seat insert is in order.

Note:
Valve seats which are too wide tend to
accumulate coking residues,
− valves start to leak −
Valve seats which are to narrow prevent
rapid dissipation of heat from the valve
plate to the cylinder head,
− valves burn −
