WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
VALVE FACE AND VALVE SEAT ANGLE CHART
| DESCRIPTION | SPECIFICATION | |
|---|---|---|
| Metric | Standard | |
| Seat Width | ||
| Intake | 1.18 - 1.62 mm | 0.0464 - 0.0637 in. |
| Exhaust | 1.48 - 1.92 mm | 0.058 - 0.075 in. |
| Intake Valve Face Angle | 45.5° - 46.0° | |
| Exhaust Valve Face Angle | 45.0° - 45.5° | |
| Seat Angle | 44.5° - 45.0° | |
NOTE:
Valve seats that are worn or burned can be reworked, provided that correct angle and seat width are maintained. Otherwise the cylinder head must be replaced.
NOTE:
When refacing valves and valve seats, it is important that the correct size valve guide pilot be used for reseating stones. A true and complete surface must be obtained.
- Using a suitable dial indicator, measure the center of the valve seat. Total run out must not exceed 0.040 mm (0.0016 in).
- Apply a small amount of Prussian Blue to the valve seat. Insert the valve into the cylinder head. Rotate valve while applying light pressure on the valve seat. Remove the valve and examine the valve face. If the blue is transferred below the top edge of the valve face, lower the valve seat using a 15 degree stone. If the blue is transferred to the bottom edge of the valve face, raise the valve seat using a 65 degree stone.
- When the seat is properly positioned the width of the intake seat must be 1.18 - 1.62 mm (0.0464 - 0.0637 in.) and the exhaust seat must be 1.48 - 1.92 mm (0.058 - 0.075 in.).
- Check the valve spring installed height after refacing the valve and seat. The installed height for both intake and exhaust valve springs must not exceed 46.0 mm (1.81 in.).
- The valve seat must maintain a seat angle of 44.5° - 45.0°.
- The intake valve face must maintain a face angle of 45.5° - 46.0°.
- The exhaust valve face must maintain a face angle of 45.0° - 45.5°.
