Lapping valves (BMW 3 Series E36)

            0

If the valve seats are perfectly machined and new valves are installed, lapping the valves is not necessary.

If the valve seats are perfectly machined and new valves are installed, lapping the valves is not…


The valves should be lapped with a fine grinding paste. To ensure the necessary rotational movements, a rubber suction cup is used, placed on the valve stem. The formation of scratches during the lapping process is prevented by frequently lifting and continuing to rotate the valve during the lapping process.

Note: After finishing lapping, carefully remove the grinding paste.


The grinding process can be controlled by the surface appearance or by fuel: insert the valve freely, fill the combustion chamber with fuel, fuel should not leak from the valve guide bushing. Otherwise, continue the grinding process.
