Valve Seat Reconditioning
1. Using a 45-46° cutter, remove enough material to produce a smooth, concentric seat. Follow the valve seat
cutter manufacturer’s instructions (Figure 4).
NOTE: Turn the cutter clockwise, never counterclockwise, continue to turn the cutter while lifting from the
valve seat.
2. Using the 30-32° and 60° cutter to narrow and adjust the valve seat, the valve should contact the middle of the
valve face. Be sure that the width of the finished valve seat is with specification.
