Wots that?

Valves and valve seats are as standard.

[desmo888]

Three angle is standard here in the U.S.
Any rebuild a facility does almost on every engine.

I will try to find a good axample to post to show what it is Doug.

@Desmo888 I should have looked harder at the valve seats. It appears they are 3 angle

I need to check and balance my combustion chamber volumes (if needed).

Does anyone know where I can buy a Burrette?

Cheers,

Mark.

Isn't a Burrette a medical device???

[SteveH]

Mark,

A chemist or chemist suppliers might stock them. I know someone who has one, I'll ask them where it came from tomorrow.

Why not a syringe???

Did you have any issues with the 36mm and 36.3 mm measurement once the valve seats were cut?
It is the measurement specified in the manual from the top machined surface of the head to the top of the valve.
I am about to get my valve guides cut and was wondering if anyone had problems. If the measurement is under the spec you are supposed to scrap the head as the hydraulic lifters will not work.
Also, I thought the manual sid not to grind the valves, hand lap only...
Is that right?
