| • | The valves must seat perfectly for the engine to deliver optimum
power and performance. |
| • | Cooling the valve heads is another important factor. Good contact
between each valve and its seat in the cylinder head is necessary to insure
that the heat in the valve head is properly carried away. |
| • | Regardless of what type of equipment is used, it is essential
that the valve guide bores are free from carbon or dirt to ensure the proper
centering of the pilot in the guide. |
| • | The valve seats should be concentric to within 0.05 mm (0.031 in)
total indicator reading. |
| • | Do not attempt to reface valves from the Twin Cam engine. |
| • | Replace any valve that is not in serviceable condition. |
