Valvebouncer 2,389 Posted July 24, 2018 those valve seats and valves!!! Imagine if you didn’t remove the valves and slapped the head on, all that rust and scale would have gone straight into the engine and destroy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,311 Posted July 24, 2018 can see the pitting in the valve seats from sitting for ages.. (remembers the drop in and run description..) My gemini head from the 20yr old barn storage ran ok, but the head dude is going to re cut all the seats and valves, did old mate say how bad yours were?First lil clean up sees the seats are well umm ok for a cheap rebuild but after i lap them it should be passable sometimes i wonder wtf am i even doing this for but i enjoy itSent from my SM-G570Y using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
