Refinishing cyl. head - exhaust valve

Maximum refinishing of the seat in the cyl. head and on
the exhaust valve cage → 2.00 mm
Refinishing on the valve cage seat and / or in the bore

of the cyl. head is possible. Before removal measure
dimension „L" from top edge of cyl. head to top edge
of exhaust valve cage flange. Carefully clean the
exhaust valve bore in the cyl. head. Insert the reseating
tool and face slowly and uniformly with low contact
pressure. After facing fit the exhaust valve cage and
measure dimension „L" again. L
The difference of both measurements is the refinishing
dimension.
A maximum refinishing of 2.00 mm is possible,
however, refinishing in the cylinder head should not
exceed 1.25 mm, consequently refinishing of 0.75
mm is possible on the exhaust valve cage.

Attention: From engine No. 63156 on the exhaust valve

cages are inserted in the cylinder heads without joint

Inlet valve seat ring

Removal: Cut off the old valve stem at the shaft end and chamfer the resulting joint face
against upsettings. Grind valve plate until it fits in the valve seat ring, connect the valve
plate in the valve seat ring with 4 welding seams and extrude the valve seat.
Fitting on board: After extruding, clean the valve seat bore with fine emery cloth. Cool the
valve seat ring down to 20 ° C and heat the cylinder head up to 130 ° C. Put the valve seat
ring in the bore and force it in with the old valve stem. After about 5 minutes, move the
valve seat into its final position by means of a setting blow, afterwards there must be no
clearance between seat ring and contact surface in the cylinder head.
Another method is: Cool the valve seat ring down in liquid nitrogen (-190 ° C) or in dry ice
(-70 ° C) and heat the cylinder head slowly up by a soft flame. Insert the valve seat ring
and after about 5 minutes a valve stem and bring it into the final position by means of a
setting blow. Afterwards there must be no clearance between seat ring and contact surface
in the cylinder head. Any protruding edges from the seat ring to the inlet port are to be
smoothed off.
Fitting in the workshop

1. Cool the valve seat ring down in liquid nitrogen to -190 ° C and insert it in the
cylinder head.
2. Shortly press the valve seat ring on with the device 1.70.7-92.22.00-10.
Tighten nut of the pressing device with → M = 300 Nm
3. In cold shrunk-in condition there must be no clearance between valve seat ring and

Valve stems can be reused without refinishing if:
1. the valve cone surface is metallically bright on the whole circumference,
2. the valve cone surface does not show included coke particles which may result in
blow-bys,
3. cracking was not detected in the valve cone surface by crack test with luminous
magnifying glass (eightfold magnification) or powder spraying method (Met-L-Chek) or
by a magnaflux test,
4. the deviation from straight is not > 0.04 mm

diameter and in case of high-temperature corrosion of > 2.5 mm on the bottom side of the
valve disk.

Refinishing of the valve cone surfaces

Refinish valve cone acc. to sketch. Do not
refinish the existing fillet. After grinding
determine the dimension between the visible
edge base material - armouring „X“ and the
outside edge of the seat surface. When it is
less than the minimum size exchange the
valve cone.
Round off the outside edge with a stone.
If the valve cone is refinished the valve seat

must be refinished, too.
Grinding of inlet and exhaust valves

Apply small dots of the diamond paste Dp 30/10-
15 my with a syringe to the new or remachined
valve cone and distribute the paste equally.
Thereafter the seat ring surface is to be sprayed
with a thinner (F25) belonging to the diamond
paste, for dilution and in order to increase the
grip. Insert the oiled valve stem into the guide
bush. Fasten the device at the valve disk and
grind the valve face and seat by hand applying a
moderate pressure, rotating the device. The
contact reflection „a“ which is visible by the
smooth grinding process shall not exceed
30 % of the seat width starting from the outside
diameter. If the bearing characteristics described
above are not reached, remachining of both
sealing surfaces is necessary.

length until black line mark
coincides with bottom edge guard
ring.
4. Lengthen tie rods according to
instructions.
5. Tighten round nuts with pin by
hand.
6. Make the hydraulic device stress-
free.
Loosening of tie rods

1. Setup according to sketch.
2. Set the device to gap size S = 5 (sketch).
3. Lengthen the tie rod according to instructions.
4. Loosen round nuts with pin by about 5 mm.
5. Make the hydraulic device stress-free.
