Valve, Intake/Exhaust






Valve Dimensions

• Intake and exhaust valves must not be refaced by grinding. Only lapping is permitted.









CAUTION!
Risk of injury if exhaust valves with sodium filling are disposed of improperly.

• Cut exhaust valve with sodium filling into 2 parts with a metal saw between shaft center and valve plate. While doing this, do not come into contact with water.

• Throw at the most 10 such sawed exhaust valves in a bucket filled with water and step back immediately.

• When there is contact with water, a sudden chemical reaction occurs which burns the sodium filling.

• The treated parts may then be discarded through conventional disposal channels.
