Valve Stem Outside Diameter 

Measure the valve stem diameter at three points. 
If the measured value is less than the specified limit, the valve 
and the valve guide must be replaced as a set.

Valve Depression 

1.  Install the valve (1) to the cylinder head (2). 

2.  Use a depth gauge or a straight edge with steel rule to 

measure the valve depression from the cylinder head lower 
surface. 

If the measured value exceeds the specified limit, the valve 
seat insert must be replaced.

Valve Contact Width 

1.  Check the valve contact faces for roughness and 

unevenness. Make smooth the valve contact surfaces. 

2.  Measure the valve contact width. 

If the measured value exceeds the specified limit, the valve 
seat insert must be replaced.

Valve Seat Insert Replacement 

Valve Seat Insert Removal 
1.  Arc weld the entire inside circumference (1) of the valve 

seat insert (2). 

2.  Allow the valve seat insert to cool for a few minutes. 

This will invite contraction and make removal of the valve 
seat insert easier. 

3.  Use a screwdriver (3) to pry the valve seat insert free. 

Take care not to damage the cylinder head (4). 

4.  Carefully remove carbon and other foreign material from 

the cylinder head insert bore.

Valve Seat Insert Installation 

1.  Carefully place the attachment (1) (having a smaller 

outside diameter than the valve seat insert) on the valve 
seat insert (2). 

 

NOTE: 

The smooth side of the attachment must contact the 
valve seat insert. 

 

2.  Use a bench press (3) to gradually apply pressure to the 

attachment and press the valve seat insert into place. 

 

NOTE: 

Do not apply an excessive amount of pressure with 
the bench press. Damage to the valve seat insert will 
result. 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Valve Seat Insert Correction 

1.  Remove the carbon from the valve seat insert surface. 

2.  Use a valve cutter (15

°

, 45

°

, and 75

°

 blades) to minimize 

scratches and other rough areas. This will bring the 
contact width back to the standard value. 

Remove only the scratches and rough areas. Do not cut 
away too much. Take care not to cut away unblemished 
areas of the valve seat surface.

NOTE: 

Use an adjustable valve cutter pilot. 

Do not allow the valve cutter pilot to wobble inside the 
valve guide. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  Apply abrasive compound to the valve seat insert surface.

4.  Insert the valve into the valve guide. 

5.  Turn the valve while tapping it to fit the valve seat insert. 

6.  Check that the valve contact width is correct. 

7.  Check that the valve seat insert surface is in contact with 

the entire circumference of the valve.
