1. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using a
valve seat cutter.
NOTE: lf guides are worn (see page 6-24), replace
them (see page 6-251 before cutting the valve seats,
2. Carefully cut a 45' seat, removing only enough
material to ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
3. Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30o cutter
and the lower edge of the seat with the 60' cutter.
Check width of seat and adjust accordingly.
4. Make one more very light pass with the 45" cutter to
remove any possible burrs caused by the other cut-
ters.

After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve
seating: Apply Prussian Blue compound to the valve
face, and insert valve in original location in the
head, then lift it and snap it closed against the seat
severaltimes.

The actual valve seating surface, as shown by the
blue compound, should be centered on the seat.
. lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you
must make a second cut with the 60" cutter to
move it down, then one more cut with the 45'
cutter to restore seat width.
. lf it is too low (closer to the valve edgel, you
must make a second cut with the 30' cutter to
move it up, then one more cut with the 45" cutter
to restore seat width.
NOTE: The final cut should always be made with
the 45' cutter.

Eight numbers {'l to 8) are printed on the surface of
rhe filter.
The following explains the procedure for tightening
filters using these numbers.
1 ) Make a mark on the cvlinder block under the num-
ber that shows al the bottom of the filter when
the rubber seal is seated.
2) Tighten the tilter by turning it clockwise seven
numbers from the marked point. For example, if
a mark is made under the number 2 when the tub-
ber seal is seated. the filter should be tightened
until the number 'l comes up to the marked point.
