      CAUTION: When using the valve seat cutter, firmly grip cutter handle with both hands. Then, press on the contacting surface all around the circumference to cut in a single drive. Improper pressure on cutter or cutting many different times may result in staged valve seat.
    5. Using compound, grind to adjust valve fitting.
    6. Check again for normal contact. Refer to Inspection .
  3. Install new valve oil seals as per the following:
    1. Apply new engine oil on new valve oil seal joint and seal lip.
    2. Using the valve oil seal drift [SST: KV10115600 (J-38958)] (A), press fit valve seal to height (b) shown in figure, below.
