Dec 11, 2015#0183;#32;Grind these smooth. Then work the cylindrical and tapered drums around and in and out of the port until it is a uniform smoothness throughout. Flip the heads over and work the area under the valve seat. There is usually a sharp ridge in the port in this area that should be smoothed into a more gradual transition.
Brand new valves should also be lapped before they are installing in an engine. the cup before it is attached to improve the seal between it and the valve head. When you grind an engine valve seat, you remove metal from the seat area. If valve clearance has been reduced too much, it will need to be adjusted. [Contact Now]
May 21, 2012#0183;#32;Definitely lap the valves and make sure you mark or number each valve so it can be fitted to it''s matched seat. With a three angle valve job the seats will most likely have been cut to widths of around .060quot; for the inlets and .080quot; for the exhaust.
The purpose of grinding is to have the valve and valve seat make an airtight fit. The purpose of lapping is to see if that was done correctly. If your heads were rebuilt at an engine shop, the valves had a machine put a precise bevel on the valve and seat surfaces, but a good seal is not guaranteed a good engine builder will always check everything before final assembly.

Lapping or grinding of new valves is NOT recommended anymore. Check with your supplier to be sure. They sometimes come with special coatings that are ruined by grinding or lapping. Grinding new valves is not recommended because the factory equipment is so much better than any machine shop grinders that the concentricity cannot be maintained.

If you use brand new valves, you will still need to grind the valves and seats to ensure a proper seat. The rockers will need to be adjusted anyway. Clean the engine head and valves thoroughly. You do not want to have any grinding paste left on the engine head. You can use a wet rag and water to clean up the engine head to remove the grinding compound.
The other thing is.. if your repairing a head that jumped time on the belt or chain ect?. then you may be buying some new valves? for the exhaust valves in question? most likely all or half will be bent from timing jump! those heads usually wont need this pencil test but the new replacement valves still have to be lapped (ground)in to the seat the same grind method applies ok BROKE OFF VALVES Valves
Mar 01, 2012#0183;#32;Before cutting seats and grinding valves, experienced head specialists often whip out a calculator or spreadsheet to figure out what might work best for a given combination.
May 27, 2008#0183;#32;buy a lapping tool from autozone and some valve grinding compound. put the compound on the outer edge of the valve seat area, insert the valves in there holes, and use the tool to spin the valves (like trying to start a fire with sticks) to seat them. Then clean em off good and install your seals,springs, and clips.
