I am interested in doing my own head work. From what I see on line, I dont need fancy machines to accomplish most of this; Valve guide remove/replace, ream, and seat cutting.
What I dont know, is what to buy to get started. I will be doing this on the Corvair heads first, if they need it. I am converting to stainless valves and need to have them checked in the new guides and then checked for fitment and interference on the seats. What do ya'll use? Links, etc appreciated. |

Any examples of the above? I have seen pics, but dont know what to buy.
For seat cutting, I hear cutters are best. Stones reportedly tear up the seats a bit. At least that is what I have heard. I looked on ebay for examples of reams and find many, but how to use them? Hand ream? No drill, right? I have seen good tutorials on how to remove and install valve guides, that part I am confident in. I want to do this stuff myself rather than pay someone. I always did and some day I want to have the tools to do all of my own work. No better time than now to start my collection of necessary tools. |
