3 minute(s) of a 417 minute read

Finally, the package arrived!!





Unwrapping:






Head with new valve guides






Old ones... SCRAP!






Fresh valveseats:






12 valves, cleaned and grinded






Pedi showing a visiting friend a how-to:






Old valve guides had 0,7mm clearance, spec says max 0.8mm. Now it is 0,26mm, due to used valves. Approved






Fresh oil everywhere, and real lube for the cam lobes





Valves are in, things are getting together..






Drilled the no1 cylinder sprayer hole from 1,5mm to 2mm, due to lack of flow/pressure on the old M30s. And used of course Loctite to the Banjobolts for the oil sprayer...







finally:






I love the sight of it







Waiting for its turn







The headliner is a PITA, but with a friend that pushes me, at least I got a fresh start






Soooo consentrated






Not too much done, but just a little bit now and then - suddenly it is back on track...!
