Now I've gone in to swap the o-rings out for my cylinder heads they definitely came out easier than I expected. The hard part is clearing out the parts around them to remove. Had a few incidents requiring a dremel with seized stud nuts but nothing crazy. If the engines had a lack of TLC all the nuts bolts and flanges soon add up for replacements. But on the plus side it is so much easier to work on and you can clean it up and get your valves lapped in again before doing your adjustments and getting your new shims. My issues are on the vertical head. I thought I may as well take the horizontal one off too while I'm at it to get them both cleaned up nicely inside. Lucky I did as I found one of my valves was very slightly bent which I wouldn't have found if I hadn't!! Still sealed OK before swapping it but it's a warm fuzzy feeling knowing you've put something else right!! Last edited by Macflurry; 03-09-2018 at 04:15 PM.. |
