Once I get the new valve guides pressed in I want to insure that the valve seat is concentric with the guide. A minimal scrape with the tool will tell me that. If it is then fine, I'll just lap the valve in and install. However, a couple of the seats have some pitting which needs to be removed, hence the making of the tool.
Bob, my policy has always been to remove only the minimal amount of material I can get away with that will give me a good seal. If I don't have to use the tool I won't - but yes
i could certainly ruin the seat by aggressive use, giving a recessed valve with masking and a wide seat which is undesirable. Your concern is appreciated and understood.
