Valve Seat Contact
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Nissan Armada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- After confirming that the dimensions of the valve guides and valves are within specifications, perform this procedure.
- Apply prussian blue (or white lead) onto the contacting surface of the valve seat to check the condition of the valve contact on the surface.
- Check if the contact area band is continuous all around the circumference.
- If not, grind to adjust the valve fit and check again. If the contacting surface still has NG conditions even after the re-check, replace the valve seat.
