I am rebuilding my engine a 2.0 from 76. I took the heads in to be reconditioned.
The machinist told me that the valve stems needed replacing, the valves needed regrinding and the seats machined. He said this would be no problem. He know tells me that the new valve stems are not at the same angle as the originals and after machining the seats the valves sit too low in the valve seats. He says new valve seats are required As you will understand I am not happy especially when he reassured me that he could do the job no problem. Is this guy incompetent dick head or is this a common problem,? Appreciate feed back before I go to the shop on Wednesday. |

Ham Inc is one of the most knowledgeable people here on 914world. I don't believe he works on old heads anymore but he did the head work on my engine I would trust no other.

And they have to meet the criteria outlined in the article this link takes you to. Last year only 3 pairs did. http://www.hamincgroup.com/blog/porsche/91...-service-policy Our new 2.0 914 F.I. replacement heads are keeping the T4 work prominent in our shop, otherwise you'd hardly know we work with them anymore. |
