Thread: VALVES

you could but if youve found a broken seat why dont you just carry the head out into the yard to sit it in the sun?

Dave, it's a 2.6, exhaust valves are in the block.

Terry

you are very correct there not going to be a easy task but has to be done

OK guys i didn't sleep a wink last night thinking about the valve guides and it hit me im going to try and make a prototype tool Ive tried making 1 today it didn't work out right but i found out were i was going wrong my first prototype it would work if the lifters were not in but now im drawing 1 up that you can use with the lifters in ill try and make the 2nd attempt tomorrow and maybe i will sleep tonight im not sure yet lol but if it works would you like to see it? i might even video it and all the stuff i used if you like to make 1 for yourself??

and theres a brain fart for the week.... (I blame the milis course's Ive just finished)

I use a 750W worklight about a foot away for that kind of job.....

give it 2 or 3 goes and if it doesnt look like its going to shift forget it, its time for violence.

if the seat is already broken try using the edge of a fine point chisel to get it moving then just abuse it to pieces. or you can try wedging it up with feeler gauges as it turns.
