VALVE SEAT RECONDITIONING
Inspect the valve seat contact area (page 10-20).
Using a 45° seat cutter [1], remove any roughness or
irregularities from the seat.
If the contact area is too high on the valve, removes
material from the top edge using a 32° flat cutter [2].
If the contact area is too low on the valve, removes
material from the bottom edge using a 60° interior cutter
[3].
Valve seat cutters [1]/grinder or equivalent valve seat
refacing equipment is recommended to correct a worn
valve seat.
Turn the cutter clockwise, never counterclockwise.
Continue to turn the cutter as you lift it from the valve
seat.
Make a light pass with the 45 ° cutter to remove any
possible burrs at the edge of the seat.
Be sure that the width [1] of the finished valve seat is
within specification.
Thoroughly clean the cylinder to remove any cutting
residual.
