a valve seat grinder which centers on the valve
guide.

material than absolutely necessary to clean the
seat up.
2. Using a 35° stone, narrow the valve seat until
the appropriate outer diameter is obtained.

3. Using a 55° stone for the intake and an 80°
stone for the exhaust valve, reduce the valve
seat contact width to the appropriate value
mentioned above.
4. Finally, coat the valve seating surface with a
fine paste of valve grinding compound using a
manual valve grinding mandrel. Lightly grind
the valves until a smooth, even, uniform sealing
surface of the appropriate inside and outside
diameter is obtained on both the valve and
the seat. Use only a hand held valve grinding
mandrel with a suction cup, rotating the valve
back and forth through about 45°, and then
advancing the valve 45° before repeating this
operation.
