Default Re: 8BA valve seat grinding

Could anyone advise if this is correct or what I need to do to rectify the issue.

Thanks in advance for any help

So you are grinding the seats to set the tappet clearance? If the seats are good why not butt grind the valve stems?
Maybe I am missing something which is common for me.
