Grinding my own seats, how hard to oversize?
I have a valve grinding set that uses stones. How difficult is it to grind out the heads to an oversized valve (say a 1.50" to a 1.60" exhaust valve).
I have only lightly grinded on heads to clean up the seat.
Thanks

It's easy. Just port out the mouth of the seat to approx 85-90% of the valve diameter, then hit it with your seat cutting stone.

I usually cut a wider seat anyway to give me room for better radiusing on the edges.
