Reworking valve seats
Special tools and workshop equipment required
   
t  Ruler -T40100-
t  Depth gauge
t  Valve seat refacing tool
  Note
t  When repairing engines with leaking valves, it is not sufficient to rework or renew valve seats and valves. Particularly on high mileage engines, it is necessary also to check valve guides for wear → Chapter.
t  Valve seats are only to be reworked to the extent required to yield a proper surface appearance. Before beginning to rework valve seats, calculate the maximum permissible reworking dimensions. If the reworking dimension is exceeded, the hydraulic valve clearance compensation can no longer be guaranteed and the cylinder head must be renewed.
The max. permissible reworking dimension is calculated as follows:
–  Insert valve and press firmly against seat.
  Note
If the valve is to be renewed as part of a repair, use a new valve for the calculation.

–  Measure distance between end of valve stem and top edge of ruler -T40100-.
–  Calculate maximum permissible reworking dimension from measured distance and maximum dimension.
Maximum dimensions: inlet valve 1.0 mm, exhaust valve 0.9 mm
Maximum dimension minus measured valve projection = max. permissible reworking dimension.
  Note
Material thickness of ruler -T40100- = 7.7 mm.
Example for inlet valve:
   Material thickness -T40100- - measured standout = valve standout
   7.7 mm - 7.2 mm = 0.5 mm
   Maximum dimension of inlet valve - valve standout = max. permissible reworking dimension
   1.0 mm - 0.5 mm = 0.5 mm → Remark
Max. permissible reworking dimension of inlet valve: 0.5 mm
1)  The max. permissible reworking dimension is shown as dimension „b“ in the illustrations for reworking valve seats.
