DRESSING OR TRUING THE VALVE SEAT WHEEL

It is necessary to true or dress seat wheels that have become dull or loaded, or have lost their form (angle). To obtain the best possible dress, observe the following.

1.Feed the diamond into the wheel very slowly until the diamond just touches the wheel.

2.Move the diamond across the face of the wheel beginning from the bottom and sweep up. A slow sweep will provide a smoother finish while a rapid sweep will provide a coarse finish.

NOTE: How the wheel is dressed will directly influence the finish of the valve seat. Take care when dressing the seat wheels, this will improve valve seat finish and increase diamond life. Check the dress of the wheel frequently during the seat grinding operation. It is better to dress frequently and remove a slight amount of wheel than to wait too long and have a necessity to remove an excessive amount to correct the wheel

Changing a valve seat stone angle is only advised if it is to increase the stone angle, i.e., taking a 15-degree angle wheel and making it a 30-degree.

It is not cost effective to attempt to reduce an angle, too much abrasive and diamond is required to perform this operation.
