Valve seat repair/replacement

[hunker7]

Hi guys, is there a company in UK (nearer the London the better) that could repair/replace valve seat? Mine is quite possibly bent (long story) and just want to look at all the options.

Bent? Unlikely. Burnt? Possibly.

Any good company that regularly repairs aluminum heads would be able to change a valve seat if actually required.

Here is a photo of a an 20VT head with two of its intake valve seats removed and one loose new seat waiting to be pressed in and trimmed



The second photo shows the new exhaust seat in the process of being cut, with new intake seats waiting to be cut.

When you have a 4 mm metal ball shooting about in the cylinder you'll be surprised what it can achieve.

Thanks, I'll call around tomorrow and see how much it'll set me back.

WTF!!!!???? Ball bearing from where?

A wrench fell apart and didn't notice it fell inside the cylinder, luckily it didn't make its way to turbo.
