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. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) Haha (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) You get it! PRS914-6, do you heat the heads to 425* in an oven first? I have read that. Thanks for the clarification about hone and ream. I am using phosphorbronze in my heads, which are aluminum. With luck, the steel valves will have good clearance, but just in case, I would rather be ready to do the work myself. If I were replacing the seats, that would be a different story. |
