Re: valve seats
I've got a hand grinder you can use and am in Orange County. We tried one on a friend's engine last summer and it worked but I wasn't impressed. If you only need a clean up, this will probably do; I just wouldn't use it to do a real valve job. Let me know.
As for your questions, according to Les Andrews' book: 1. Valve opening dia. = 1 3/8" 2. Don't have a Nuway cutter 3. Stem diameter = 0.311" 4. Valve seat angle = 45* Joe |
