Note: When regrinding, do not allow the overall length of the valve to be reduced beyond its minimum permissible value.
8. Check and clean the valve seats.
a) Using a carbide bur with a 45° cone angle, grind the valve seats, removing a minimum layer of metal only to clean the working chamfers of the seats.

b) Check that the valve is seated correctly in the seat.
Apply a thin layer of white paint to the valve face. Press the valve face against the seat, but do not rotate the valve. Then remove the valve and inspect the seat and valve face.

If paint remains around the entire circumference (360°) of the valve bevel, the valve is concentric. Otherwise, replace the valve.
If the paint shows up all the way around (360°) the valve seat, the valve guide (bushing) and valve seat are concentric. Otherwise, regrind the chamfer.
Make sure that the contact patch is in the middle of the valve working face and has a width of:
- 3S-FE, 4S-FE — 1.0-1.4 mm
- ZS-T - 1.2-1.6 mm
Otherwise, adjust the chamfer as follows:
If the contact patch is located too high on the valve chamfer, use 30° and 45° cone angle cutters to regrind the seat.

If the contact patch is located too low on the valve chamfer, use 60° and 45° cone angle cutters to regrind the seat.
d) Manually lap the valve and valve seat using abrasive paste.
