Reconditioning note:
If a valve-seat insert is replaced before reaching the reconditioning depth of 1.100 mm, it must be machined
to the depth of the contour to avoid that the valve-seat insert protrudes into the combustion chamber.
Max. corrective machining or equalizing of valve-seat inserts by 0.300 mm in depth, without machining the
contour and the radius.
