Apply a light coat of Prussian blue to the valve face.
Lightly press the valve against the seat. Do not rotate valve.
Prussian blue appears 360° around the entire valve face, the valve is concentric. If not, replace the valve.
Prussian blue appears 360° around the entire valve seat, the guide and face are concentric. If not, resurface the seat.
