Default Re: Removing valves from a 59A

Or - a big ass pair of bolt-cutters and some strong arms!

Just be careful about pieces flying all over the place . . . like valve heads that miss your face and shoot up towards the ceiling.

As they fly past your head, they know how to home right in on exposed fluorescent light bulbs.

Upon striking the light bulbs, the now broken pieces of glass come crashing down on your head, pieces of glass fall down into your shirt and also into the engine. The dog who was sleeping and keeping you company will run like the devil is on his heels - and he may or may not have glass in his coat. You will then clean glass up for hours . . . probably longer than the rest of the project.

I personally do NOT know of such things - but I have heard from reputable sources the above is certainly possible!
