The maximum permissible reworking dimension is calculated as follows:

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE: If the valve is to be replaced as part of a repair, use a new valve for the measuring.

Measure distance -a- between end of valve stem and upper edge of cylinder head.
Calculate max. permissible reworking dimension from measured distance -a- and minimum dimension.

Minimum dimensions:

Measured distance -a- minus minimum dimension = max. permissible reworking dimension.

Example:

-	Measured distance -a- Minimum dimension	35.1 34.1	mm mm
=	max. perm. rework dimension*	1.0	mm

*) Max. permissible reworking dimension is shown as dimension "b" in illustrations for reworking of valve seats.
