Standard valves can be ground to match a '3 angle' valve seat in the same way needed to fit a standard valve seat, (providing the new valve seat is within standard size limits.)
A 3 angle seat is a normal time-served modification, employed when gas-flowing/porting a cylinder head and is designed to encourage better/faster flow around the valve pocket/seat area than the standard head's valve seating arrangement.
However, many modern multivalve engines already come with this feature, as manufacturers soon realized it's a cheap/easy way to improve the efficiency of their engines. |
