CHECKING THE VALVE SEATS
The following procedure applies to all of the
valves and valve seats.
1. Eliminate:
• Carbon deposit
(from the valve face and valve seat)
2. Check:
• Valve seat
Pitting/wear Replace the cylinder head.
3. Measure:
• Valve seat width “a”
Out of specification Replace the cylinder
head.
a. Apply blue layout fluid “b” onto the valve
face.
b. Install the valve into the cylinder head.
c. Press the valve through the valve guide and
onto the valve seat to make a clear impres-
sion.
d. Measure the valve seat width.
Where the valve seat and valve face contacted
one another, the blue layout fluid will have been
removed.
4. Lap:

• Valve seat
After replacing the cylinder head or replacing the
valve and valve guide, the valve seat and valve
face should be lapped.
