liable to failure. Any valve having a nick, with ragged
edges more than 1/16 inch in length should not be re-
used. A nick or tool mark of any sort in the keeper
groove of an exhaust valve is sufficient reason for not
reusing the valve. See figure 6-12.

indicate that the valve might be cracked, it should be
inspected by a magnetic particle or dye penetrant
method. Dye penetrant procedures should be carried
A--i~ out strictly within the recommendations of the manu-
facturer of the penetrant.
