Subject:      exhaust valve grinding
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


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
