Today we’ve got a Katana 1100 with an oil-cooled engine where the valves have lifted, so let’s get that head assembled right away.
We use a valve seat cutter to remove the unevenness and clean things up, then check the contact with the cleaned valve.
The contact area is a bit wide, so we need to make an adjustment.
This is where having a seat cutter really comes in handy ★
Without one, you’d have to send it out for outside work to get it corrected, but having one on hand is super convenient ■
The power of compressed air is amazing. I used to think using an air-powered tool was cheating, but…
It finishes with incredible power and speed! Though when you’re lapping, you really need a pretty soft compound…
Man, another seat cut—this is such a hassle…
