5-36 ENGINE TOP END
Valves
•
Lap the valve to the valve seat, once the seat width and
outside diameter are within the ranges specified above.
Put a little coarse grinding compound on the face of the
valve in a number of places around the valve head.
Spin the valve against the seat until the grinding com-
pound produces a smooth, matched surface on both the
seat and the valve.
Repeat the process with a fine grinding compound.

•
The seating area should be marked about in the middle
of the valve face.
If the seat area is not in the right place on the valve, check
to be sure the valve is the correct part. If it is, it may have
been refaced too much; replace it.
•
Be sure to remove all grinding compound before assem-
bly.
•
When the engine is assembled, be sure to adjust the valve
clearance (see Valve Clearance Inspection in the Periodic
Maintenance chapter).
