Time had come to think about the valve seats, first of all it was necessary to spot face the area that the seat was to to be to get an even surface, I did not have a end mill of the correct size to do the job so i improvised by making a mandrel that fitted the bore of the valve access port the ground down a Dremel silting wheel to fit the end, the result was a perfect spot face.
this led me to think that a similar approach could be taken to the seats, so a similar mandrel was made with a 90° cutter fitted in the end ,this resulted in a perfect narrow 45° seat, it will be interesting to see how this seals when the time comes.
Sorry the pics are not to good my baby camera finds this a bit hard.
