[. . . ] When the valve guide is replaced, be sure to grind with 45° cutter for centering and good contact. If the outside diameter [A] of the seating surface is too large, make the 32° grind described below. If the outside diameter of the seating surface is within the specified range, measure the seat width as described below. To make the 32° grind, fit a 32° cutter into the holder, and slide it into the valve guide. Check the seat after each turn.
·
CAUTION
The 32° cutter removes material very quickly. Check the seat outside diameter frequently to prevent overgrinding.
After making the 32° grind, return to the seat O. D. To measure the seat width, use a vernier caliper to measure the width of the 45° angle portion of the seat at several places around the seat. If the seat width is too narrow, repeat the 45° grind until the seat is slightly too wide, and then return to the seat O. D. measurement step above.

If the seat width is too wide, make the 60° or 55° [A] grind described below. If the seat width is within the specified range, lap the valve to the seat as described below. Grind the seat at a 60° or 55° angle until the seat width is within the specified range. To make the 60° or 55° grind, fit 60° or 55° cutter into the holder, and slide it into the valve guide.
