You would not want to buy the valve cutting set just to do ONE valve job. If the local machinist cannot cut all three angles or does not know what the angles are, then you need to give it to a machinist that does know or buy the tools and then sell them to the machine shop so they can make more money with them or you save them to make some money.


And NEVER put a valve seat cutting tool on a electric drill!!!! Just 1.5 turns is all it takes.
Unless you want to buy a new cylinder head. I do not know where in Japan you could find new valve seats.

Remember a car machine shop is not really the right place.
It needs to be a machinist that understands motorcycles.
You may find a shop that does both but it is rare.
Car people are car people know what I mean?

BTW I forgot you need the special socket to remove the clutch nut. =$25.00

Remember ....Once you start taking the head off you are committed to finish the job.
If you take it apart and give it to someone else they may not know how it goes together and where the O rings and locating pins belong.

It is better to not even take it apart.
I hate getting engines that beginners took apart. No offense to beginners.
Generally they strip bolts and break things.
