This is called a reseating tool and is used to grind away cracks on the seat of a tap or valve.
There is an issue here that is not being discussed. If you grind the valve seats, for what ever reason, you must grind the valves also, otherwise you will not have a matched valve and seat assembly. Doing one without the other, will be a learning curve you don't want to experiment with. If the valve and seat do not match perfectly, your just spinning your wheels as the end result will be a whole lotta work for nothing. When you think about the massive pressure's and extreme heat that is created during the combustion process, that last thing you want is a set of mismatched valves, trying to hold it in the cylinder area. Also lets not forget about the fact that when you grind a valve seat, your allowing the valve to seat deeper into the head and the last time I checked they don't sell valve stem lengthening kits. You are not moving the camshaft, it stays the same, but the valve stem moves farther away from the cam when you grind the valve seats. So if ya hear a bunch of clackey valves when you first start the engine, you will understand why they don't sell valve lengthening kits.

Can i repair the valve seating in a pillar tap?
Yes it can be repaired to a point. There is a tool called a reseater which grinds the valve seat to make it smooth and grind out fine cracks. The seat can only be reseated a number of times before its too flat in which case the tap would then need to be replaced.
What does valve timing 0.006 mean on a camshaft spec card?
It is the "Advertised duration", used by the factory. It is the Valve timing from when the valve is .006inches off the valve seat to .006" off the valve seat.
Valve refacing and valve seat grinding and checking for leakage of valve?
yes
The part of the poppet valve that contacts the valve seat is called the?
The valve face
Why is the exhaust valve seat is made wider than the inlet valve seat?
Better heat distribution. The exhaust valve sees a lot more heat.
When do valves cool themselves down?
the valve transfers the heat to the valve seat (when the valve is closed)
What is the name of the tool you used to remove the valve from the tire?
shredder valve.
What tool is used to install valve springs?

What tool is used to evaluate mitral valve stenosis?
Doppler echocardiography is the preferred diagnostic tool for evaluation of mitral valve stenosis
How do you stop an engine valve tap?
Valve taps often occur as a result of a misalignment in the fitting they are in, or a worn out valve seat. In many cases, a new valve spring and cam adjustment will fix the problem, but if it the result of a worn out valve seat, it will have to be machined.
