Valve Grinding Compound is an odorless grey
paste containing selected abrasive grits dispersed in a water-
base, non-corrosive binder composed of gelling agents,
lubricants, preservatives and ethylene glycol. It is a multi-
purpose compound designed to aid valve grinding operations
on automotive, industrial and marine engines. Can be used
for lapping and grinding chromium-cobalt, hard-faced seats
and discs. Removes burrs, surface defects, gums, carbon
deposits and corrosion. Mixes with water to form easy-to-use
paste. Combines special grits of various sizes that become
finer as the compound is worked. Provides a fine, smooth
finish.
