Valve dimensions, checking
Note:
Valves must not be reworked. Only grinding-in (lapping) is permitted.
WARNING!
Worn sodium-cooled exhaust valves must be treated as follows
before disposal:
Dimension
Inlet valve
Exhaust valve
a = diameter mm 26.8 ... 27.0 29.8 ... 30.0
b = diameter mm 5.96 ... 5.97 5.94 ... 5.95
c = mm 104.84 ... 105.34 103.64 ... 104.14
=
45 45
Saw the valves into two sections with a metal saw at a point
between the center of the valve stem and the valve head. The
valves must not come into contact with water when this is done.
Then throw the valves into a bucket of water (not more than ten at
a time) and step back, because a chemical reaction occurs when
the sodium filling burns. After this treatment the valves can be
disposed of in the normal way.
