valve is used in an intake guide and an exhaust valve in an exhaust 
guide.  -  Set valve in guide. Valve stem end must be flush with guide.

Valve seats, reworking
 
     
Note:  
     If a good seating pattern cannot be obtained by 
grinding the valve seats (lapping), they must be 
refaced (reworked): 
     
Special tools and equipment  
     
Depth gauge 
     Valve seat machining tool
     
Note:  
     When repairing engines with leaking valves, it is 
not sufficient to reface the valve seats and 
replace the valves. The valve guides must also 
be checked for wear. This is particularly 
important on high mileage engines   Page 15

 . 
     
Only rework the valve seats as far as is 
necessary to ensure a good seating pattern. 
     Before starting to rework the valve seats, 
calculate the maximum permissible reworking 
dimension.
