    fun.....
    He has a Series. Just put it in gear.

    This is a dead easy job. I have done a number.

    I highly recommend the fuel hose trick.

    Hey Brian,

    Can you explain the fuel hose trick? It sounds much simpler.

    Cheers,

    Adam

    I was told that YT dont make holden straight 6 heads anymore - I've been chasing a good SH one for ages (that's not more expensive than they were new!).

    Most of the ones I've seen advertised are just standard heads with a dodgy port job.

    Use a spark plug threaded adaptor and compressed air to hold the valves closed, remove the valve spring, slip a piece of fuel injection hose that is of sufficient diameter to be a close sliding fit over the valve stem and long enough to concertina when the valve opens. Thus no oil can be sucked into the worn valve guide. The piece of hose should be shorter than the distance from the top of the guide to then underside of the spring retainer to allow some lubrication of the stem.

    I think they're back in production - not sure about the alloy version.
    basically I dont know nothing, about nothing....

    but this would be even better, i'd have to sell a kidney though

    Is that a reproduced Phil. Irving downdraft head for Holden Sixes? Matt Philip, who worked for the Holden Dealer Team and was apprenticed to Harry Firth, had one on an LJ Torana for Autocross. Could blow the socks off V* engined cars of nearly twice its capacity.
