Simply
put, the "GROOVEMASTER" system will not only eliminate existing
wear in the old guide, but will actually improve the integrity
of the valve train and significantly increase the guides effective
life. Heat transfer from the valve is improved, valve "Flutter"
is eliminated, and manifold vacuum is increased. These corrections
and improvements result in more power, smoother performance, and
an increase in fuel economy.
It
is not possible here, to detail the functions and intricacies of
the valve train, nor are we able to fully explain the technicalities
involved in the "Groovemaster" system with its numerous attendant
improvements. However, the following is a brief overview: We have
adopted the engineering principle of "Cold Flowing" and employ a
specially designed arbor and wheel which is run down the worn guide.
This upsets the metal of the guide, reduces the internal diameter,
and forms a series of lands and grooves. The lands are then "Plateaued"
with a special reamer and become multiple bearing and aligning surfaces
for the valve stem. The grooves become a series of oil retaining
"O" rings or reservoirs which individually lubricate the valve stem
for its entire length.
