This Permatex Valve Grinding Polish Lapping Paste is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts performing engine rebuilds or valve seat maintenance. Its key benefit is providing a fine, 180-grit (70 micron) abrasive action for precise grinding and polishing of valve seats, while also containing corrosion inhibitors. A potential caveat is that it's intended for specific applications and requires proper handling to avoid over-abrasion.

The paste uses a fine grade of silicon carbide, equivalent to 180 grit or approximately 70 microns.
No, the product is designed to be applied without dilution. It is ready to use straight from the container.
The corrosion inhibitors help prevent oxidation and rust on the valve and seat surfaces after the grinding and polishing process.
Apply the paste to a clean cloth and then use the cloth to burnish the two pieces (valve and seat) that need to be ground together.
No, this paste is specifically formulated for valve grinding and lapping applications and is not intended for general polishing tasks.
The container holds 100g of the lapping paste.
Store the paste in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry location.
Ensure consistent pressure and motion during the burnishing process. Check for any debris trapped between the valve and seat.
The product is formulated for direct use. If clumping occurs, ensure the container was sealed properly. Avoid adding any liquids as this can alter its abrasive properties.
Ensure thorough cleaning of all paste residue after lapping. The corrosion inhibitors provide protection but are not a substitute for proper post-service cleaning and protection protocols.
Re-evaluate the lapping process. Ensure sufficient passes were made and that the valve and seat surfaces were properly prepared prior to application.
Setup: This product requires no prior setup. It is ready for immediate use. Ensure the surfaces to be treated are clean and free of grease or debris.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for use on valve seats and valves in internal combustion engines. It is compatible with most common engine metals. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure about material compatibility.
Care: Store the paste in its original container with the lid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. After use, clean tools and surrounding areas thoroughly. It is recommended to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection) during application. Dispose of used paste and cleaning materials according to local regulations.
