VALVE INSPECTION
1. Remove all carbon from valves with a soft wire wheel
or brush.

To check for bent valve stems, mount valve in a drill
or use “V” blocks and a dial indicator.
3. Check the end of the valve stem for flaring, pitting,
wear or damage.
4. Inspect split keeper groove for wear or flaring in the
keeper seat area.
NOTICE
The valves can be re-faced or end ground, if necessary.
They must be replaced if extensively worn, burnt, bent
or damaged.
5. Measure diameter of valve stem with a micrometer in
three places, then rotate 90° and measure again
(take six measurements total). Compare to
specifications.
