Valve Inspection
- Inspect valve stem tip for wear. Inspect valve retainer grooves and oil seal grooves for chips and wear. Inspect valves for burns or cracks. Inspect valve stem for burrs and scratches. Inspect valve stem. The valve stem must be straight.
- Inspect valve face for grooving. If groove is so deep that refacing valve would result in a sharp edge, replace valve. Inspect valve spring. If valve spring ends are not parallel, replace valve spring. Inspect valve spring seating surface of valve rotators for wear or gouges. Replace as required.
