NOTE: lf guides are worn (see page 6-26), replace
them {see page 6-27) before cutting the valve seats.
Carefully cut a 45" seat, removing only enoughmaterial to ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30. cutterand the lower edge of the seat with the 60. cutter.Check width of seat and adjust accordingly.
Make one more very light pass with the 45o cutter toremove any possible burrs caused by the other cut-rers.

After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valveseating: Apply Prussian Blue compound to the valveface. Insert the valve in its original location in thehead, then lift it and snap it closed against the seatseveral times.
PRUSSIAN BLUE COMPOUNO

o.The actual valve seating surface, as shown by theblue compound, should be centered on the seat.
lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you
must make a second cut with the 60" cutter tomove it down, then one more cut with the 45"
cutter to restore seat width.
lf it is too low (closer to the valve edge), you
must make a second cut with the 30. cutter tomove at up, then one more cut with the 45. cutterto restore seat width.
NOTE: The final cut should always be made with
the 45" cutter.
