Calculating maximum permissible reworking dimension –  Insert valve and press firmly against the valve seat.   Note If the valve is replaced when carrying out repair work, use a new valve for the measurement.

–  Measure distance between the valve stem end and the upper face of the cylinder head. –  Calculate max. permissible reworking dimension from the distance measured and the minimum dimension.

Minimum dimension: inlet valve	7.6 mm
Minimum dimension: outlet valve	7.6 mm

“Measured distance” - “minimum dimension” = “max. permissible reworking dimension”. Example:

Measured distance	8.0 mm
- Minimum dimension	7.6 mm
= max. permissible reworking dimension → Note	0.4 mm

1)  The max. permissible reworking dimension is shown in the figures for reworking the valve seats as dimension “b”.

Reworking inlet valve seat a = Ø 28.7 mm b = max. permissible reworking dimension c = 1.5...1.8 mm Z = Bottom edge of cylinder head α = 45° valve seat angle β = 30° top correction angle γ = 60° bottom correction angle

Reworking exhaust valve seat a = Ø 25.0 mm b = max. permissible reworking dimension c = approx. 1.8 mm Z = Bottom edge of cylinder head α = 45° valve seat angle β = 30° top correction angle γ = 60° bottom correction angle Procedure Reworking can be carried out by hand while complying with the following conditions: l  Wear limit of valve guides must not exceed the permissible dimension. l  Use NAC milling cutter with carbide metal tips (min. 90 HRC). l  Press on the milling cutter using slight pressure and mill in such a way that an even removal of swarfs is ensured over the whole working surface.

Reworking valve seats with NAC milling cutter –  Place cylinder head on a felt base and secure to prevent it from turning. –  Match diameter of guide drift to diameter of valve guide.

Valve guide	Ø Guide drift in mm
Inlet valve	6,0 -0,01
Exhaust valve

–  Match diameter of milling cutter to diameter of valve seat.

Valve seat		Ø Milling cutter 90° mm	Ø Milling cutter 120° mm	Ø Milling cutter 60° mm
Inlet valve		32	32	21/34
Exhaust valve		30	30	21/34

Milling sequence 1 -  Mill valve seat with 90° milling tool until until a perfect contact pattern is achieved. (Do not exceed maximum permissible reworking dimension!) 2 -  Chamfer top correction angle with 120° milling cutter until valve seat diameter -a- is achieved → Anchor. 3 -  Mill bottom correction angle with 60° milling cutter until valve seat width -c- is achieved → Anchor.

–  Grind in valve/valve seat -arrows- with fine grinding paste so as to achieve a perfect contact pattern. –  Check contact pattern e.g. with water colour (perfect contact pattern over entire circumference). –  Install valve springs. –  Check valves for tightness. The tightness of the valves can be checked by filling petrol into the inlet and outlet canal (no petrol must flow out at the valve seat) After completing the repair measure once again the distances between the valve stem ends and the upper face of the cylinder head and calculate the maximum permissible reworking dimension.   Note If the maximum permissible reworking dimension is exceeded, proper operation of the valve gear is no longer assured and the cylinder head must be replaced.
