Good info 82Shafty, thanks.
I measured the valve to stem clearance using a dial indicator and the guides are worn. The valves all measure within the "standard", and well above the "limit" (which is pretty useless when it comes to valves I've decided). The exhaust valve guides show the most wear.
The seats all look good, but because of the guides, I'm going to have to touch them up after the new guides are in place. Hopefully, the amount of cutting will be minimal.
I'm using factory rings and there is no information on finish requirement in the service manual I could find...thus my question here.
Thanks again.
With the cutter you were talking about using, I found out that less is more. In otherwords, as you start to turn increase pressure and as you are running out of wrist action decrease pressure. I could usually get a clean cut in one wrist action. I'm sure you've already read up on the throat, top and seat method. Also check to ensure that you did not side load the cutter, you will see this in the seat width circumference.
When using the machine, it was not more than 1.5 turns as you could quickly take too much out a seat.
MMMMM I still remember pulling a freshly cut valve out of the Kwik way grinder. Dressing the stones before hand, the smell of the machine oil... good stuff.
Now I see you could just get some Giz :dancing:.... the Gizmatic from Neway. I have never used this so I can not speak for its qaulity.
