Re: Yblock valves
I had my heads done when I lived in New Jersey by a friend
in a raceshop. When I moved down here to Alabama I encountered several people who were car collectors, and they had a million questions about the engine rebuilding that I had just completed. The valves were one of the topics. They hammered me for weeks about not putting in the hardened valve seats etc. It got so bad that I went to a local machine shop run by by a bunch of oldtimers. I explained what I wanted to do,and requested a price for the work and the cost of the part required to do the job. The fellow who was dealing with me pulled his glasses down to the tip of his nose and asked me "how old are you?" I told him,I was in my sixties. He asked if I was going to drive the car on weekends shows etc.i said yes. He told me to just drive the damn car,the valves will out last you,than turned and walked away. That was the end of the valve controversy. |
