VALVE REFACING AND GRINDING

From bent or burnt valves to stem and face refinishing, we inspect and repair or replace to restore full function. Refacing the valve face ensures a proper seal against the valve seat. We also butt valves to ensure correct clearance with the lifters and other valve train components.



THREE ANGLE VALVE JOB

The three angles are typically a 45-degree “seat” angle for the primary seal, a 30-degree “top” cut to help airflow into the combustion chamber, and a 60-degree “throat” cut to smooth airflow as it enters the seat area. This method is popular for high-performance engines because it improves flow, especially at low and mid-lift valve positions, resulting in increased power.

VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT AND HONING

Replacing and honing valve guides:

  • Restores valve alignment
  • Reduces oil consumption and exhaust smoke
  • Protects valves and valve seats from premature wear
  • Ensures proper heat transfer, preventing burnt and warped valves
