On grinding valve seats. I always use a magic marker, stain the seat after grinding it, then when narrowing the seat it is much easier to see how wide the seat is, or, how narrow it is getting.
After getting seat narrowed, then stick the valve for that position into the guide and forcefully slam the valve into the seat several times, that will leave a nice little mark around the valve face and show where on the face the valve will be seating. Just a couple a tricks showed to me by a old timer.
