valve seats

[masterdave]

im away from my car right now and cant measure it but... does any one know the sizes of

diameter of the valve seat
what Nuway cutting bit is needed to cut the valve seat down
what size guide is needed for the valve cutter
what angle the sides of the valve seats are

any good inexpensive hand valve seat grinder, i dont need to grind any other engine any time soon so i dont want to spend an inane amount on an electric seat grinder. If any one in the westchester NY area has one and is willing to help that would be much appreciated.

thanks for everything

Any update on how this worked out?

I've got a hand grinder you can use and am in Orange County. We tried one on a friend's engine last summer and it worked but I wasn't impressed. If you only need a clean up, this will probably do; I just wouldn't use it to do a real valve job. Let me know.

As for your questions, according to Les Andrews' book:
1. Valve opening dia. = 1 3/8"
2. Don't have a Nuway cutter
3. Stem diameter = 0.311"
4. Valve seat angle = 45*

And it is called a "Neway" seat cutter.
