1.2.2 EXHAUST VALVES
Eccentric valve seat grinder adapter set J 6390 is used
in conjunction with J 8165 to grind the inserts in a four
valve cylinder head and consists of the following:
1. Pilot J 6390-1.
2. Grinding wheel (15) J 6390-2.
3. Grinding wheel (30) J 6390-3.
4. Grinding wheel (60) J 6390-4.
Grind the inserts as follows:
1. First apply the 30 grinding wheel on the valve
seat insert.
2. Use the 60 grinding wheel to open the throat of
the insert.
3. Grind the top surface of the insert with the 15
wheel to narrow the width of the seat to the
