Valve Seat Repair
Valve seat reconditioning is very important, since seating of valves must be perfect for
engine to deliver maximum power and performance.
Another important factor is valve head cooling. Good contact between each valve and its
seat in head is important to ensure that heat in valve head will be properly dispersed.
Several different types of equipment are available for reseating valve seats. Equipment
manufacturer’s recommendations should be followed carefully to attain proper results.
