I just got a valve job done on my 1.9 heads from a machine shop. I gave them the Bentley and showed them where it says not to grind the exhaust valves. They said they have reground exhaust valves many times for the local VW mechanic and this was the first time they were made aware that VW says not to grind them. I thought they were just going to lap them as per the Bentley, but the machinist said they needed to be ground so that is what he did. Does anyone know what will happen to a ground exhaust valve? Thanks
