This is great work Chuck. I really enjoy watching old stuff being brought back from the dead, and given a new lease of life. If every engineer or machinist just did one bit of work like this, just think of how much of our heritage could be saved. Respect John |

Chuck, although I have never seen full size hit'n'miss engine, except on pictures and videos(not sure if they even exist in this country), it's interesting to see your work on that restoring :wave:. |

Been there (raises hand) But wow oh wow Chuck... you are doing fantastic work! So let me get this right, heating the bent valve should allow me to pop it out? Got one stuck in a motorcycle head like that. Eric |

thanks john for the kind comment, i have done this kind of restoration for the last 30 years and i still enjoy doing it. here is the only picture i have of the full size engine that the cylinder heads go on to eric: the heat only expands the valve guide a few tho. if it is bent you will have to cut the bent part off, before you drive the valve out. some times heating will not be enough and you have to drill the old valve out. on a modern motorcycle the valve might be too hard to drill. didn't get much more done this afternoon but i plan on getting more done tomorrow. chuck :wave: |
