1.9 Correcting the valve face
If the valve face is excessively worn, correct with
a valve refacer.
Note: (a) When grinding, set the refacer at 45º relative
to the valve face.
(b) The valve head margin should be maintained
above the limit. If it appears that the
minimum margin cannot be maintained after
refacing, replace the valve.
1.10 Correcting the valve seat
(1) Before correcting the valve seat, check the valve
stem-to-guide clearance and, if necessary,
replace the valve guide.
(2) Grind with a valve seat cutter (available on the
market) or a valve seat grinder until the valve seat
width and angle meet specification.
Note: Valve seat correction should be limited as
minimum as possible.
