NOTE: After resurfacing the seats, inspect for even valve seating. Apply Prussian Blue com-
pound or erasable felt-tipped marker ink to the valve faces. Insert the valves and then lift

on the seat. The seating surface, as shown by the transferred marking compound, should
have good contact all the around.
