12. Check and clean the valve seats.
a) Use a cutter (45°) to clean the seats.
b) Check the valve fit. Apply a thin layer of white paint to the valve bevel. Press the valve onto the seat. Do not rotate the valve.
c) Check the contact between the valve chamfer and the seat:
- if the paint imprint is evenly distributed around the entire circumference of the valve working chamfer, then the valve axis coincides with the seat axis. If not, replace the valve.
- if the paint imprint is evenly distributed around the entire circumference of the valve seat working chamfer, then the axis of the guide bushing and the seat coincide. If not, mill the seat.
- make sure that the contact patch is located in the middle of the valve seat and is 1.8 - 2.2 mm wide.

If the contact patch width is outside the specified limits, adjust it as follows:
If the contact patch is located too high on the valve seat, use 20° (30° for KZ engines) and 45° cutters to correct the seat.

If the contact patch is located too low on the valve seat, use 75° (60° for KZ engines) and 45° cutters.

d) Grind the valve to the valve seat with lapping paste.
