! WARNING
Never exceed 15 psi (103 kPa) of air
pressure when performing the test

may cause the cylinder head to
break. Wear protective equipment
when pressure testing the cylinder
head.
NOTICE
Do not grind the valve seats too long and do not
apply too much pressure to the grinding stone.
1 Always dress the stone before grinding; failure to
dress the stone could cause damage to equipment.
The stone should be dressed to the proper angle
after each seat is ground.
