Darren:
Thanks Ralph,
It was those very exact bits I was referring to.
Next time you use that cutter can you show a pic....ta.... :thumbup:
Fantastic job there btw, I have heard of these tools but never seen one before
Not even your version.... :lol:

Nice job Ralph! Love to see that as I have built (no, really modified) a valve spring compressor for bike heads. I want to redo it... That gives me some idea...

My old dad used to use a similar tool on 944's but with the head still mounted on the block, ....

Know my way around the 944 heads pretty well. Have had 3 of those things (2 NA and 1 turbo). Except for the waterpump and belt issues, I like them.

The air coupler was supplied to my mates too, but was not needed, put the piston to the top and the valves are so close in the cossie that they just sit on it!

That's the bit I was waiting for, I was having trouble figuring out how to retain the valves in place :thumbup:
Nice work Ralph, did the valve stem oil seals cure the problem btw.

Glad you guys like it :)
Hi Stew :wave: Glad you got the name thing sorted.....
Darren, :lol: Nice one!
CC,
It's a simple idea that I basically robbed borrowed and re-made! If it helps some people then it was certainly worth making the post.
The air in the cylinder bit works well.... I've used that before on the old pinto engines. 60-100 psi on a 1" valve face will certainly keep it where it's meant to be!! :thumbup:
Eric,
You owned 3 porkers!!!! You must have earned too much?!?! :)
Don't forget to post up any/all piccys of modified tooling..... It might help others? :thumbup:
The results will be known to me tonight at the club meeting..... Should be ok, the so called "reconditioners" put 2 exhaust seals on the inlet valves of number 4 cylinder :jaw:
Exhaust valve stems are (in the engineering world of measurments) quite a bit larger than the inlet. Once the new springyness (erm, yer, it's a word! :scratch:) had worn off they failed to seal and allowed oil to be drawn down on overrun..... Dumb reconditioners!!
Still, all will be known tonight :)
Got to get gone now, my lift arrives at 18:30!
Ralph.
