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. |
