Valve, Grind
Valves can be reused once or twice after regrinding-only if
there are no crater-like burns on the valve cone.
Excessive grinding can cause the upper valve head edge to
become too thin.
Important!
Valve stem protection must not exceed dimension “A”-use 5-
8840-2596-0.
Do not regrind valve stem ends.
For all valve reworking note that angle of valve head is 44
and
the valve seat 45
-see also “Technical Data”.
Valve, Grind In
Grind-In the valve to improve valve seating.
Grind-In by rhythmically lifting valves and turning uniformly.
Use commercially available grinding tool.
Important!
Use only fine-grained pastes for grinding.
Lubricate valve stem before grinding in.
Clean
After grinding, carefully clean valve and valve soat.
Valve Guide, Ream
Measure
Diameter of valve guide-dial gauge and internal measuring
instrument.
Important!
Valve oversizes are available ex-works.
Oversize identification, on the valve guide and on the valve
stem end with the following specified identificaton
flgures/letters-see also “Technical Data”.
Identification Mark
Size Production Customer Service Reamer
Normal none K
0.075 mm 1 K1
0.150mm 2 K2
Ream valve guide from the upper side of the cylinder head to
the next oversize (use 5-8840-2599-0).
After reaming, cross out identification mark and stamp in new
identification mark.

Important!
If dimension “A” is exceeded, use new valves.
Check valve stem projection again. If dimension “A” is
exceeded, replace cylinder head.
Cylinder Head, Overhaul
Cylinder head disassembled.
Valve, Grind
Important!
Ensure that there are no crater-like burns on the valve cone.
Regrinding possible once or twice.

Angle at valve head-44
Inspection
Check valve stem projection as shown 5-8840-2596-0.
Valve, Grind in
