Where would we be without great craftsmen? 1.8 heads with new 2.0 sized valves, 1.7 rockers and swivel adjusting screws for my soon to be 1911 cc fuel injected 75.
I love stickers!  Nice thick valve seat!  53 CC should give me 8:1  I hate it that I am going out of town for Turkey Day. I could be working!  |

Glad you're happy with them Clark. they came out very nice.
QUOTE That right plug hole in the last picture looks eaten a bit. That's where I tied the weld into the casting. It bubbled a bit from oxidation. If it had been a critical surface I would have cut it out and rewelded. Since it's just the exterior around the CHT probe notch I let it ride. QUOTE And why the SS exhaust valves? The sodium filled are still available and not so expensive/ Definitely not a fan of them either. Thank goodness for modern (late 20th century) valve technology so we have alternatives. Admittedly the sodium filled do seem to hold up okay when new and with only so many miles of not so sprited driving, but at some point when they go, they go ugly! On the other-hand the SS just keeps on rolling along. I have NEVER seen one break without first colliding with a piston. Hope your build goes together smoothly and you're happy with your new engine Clark. |
