MR-2 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 You can change seals without taking head off by the way. Cams etc must take away, saves some money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 just looked now there is oil running down the valves some of them are covered in oil so seals are gone have fun me personally i would do the rope trick down the bore and then turning cylinder till it wont move anymore the compressor way is tricky as if you touch the valve it could drop down then its head of jobby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep82paul Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 You can change seals without taking head off by the way. Cams etc must take away, saves some money. ye I've seen a few post about some rope or something like that going to take head off won't take long to do then take the head to a machine shop to put them in never done valves before Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep82paul Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 have fun me personally i would do the rope trick down the bore and then turning cylinder till it wont move anymore the compressor way is tricky as if you touch the valve it could drop down then its head of jobby always do with these cars lol I would find it tricky to do it with rope need to take head off a stud broke so needs to be drilled out got 2 more to get out and they feel like they are going to break aswell going to put some heat on them hope it works Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 No rope tricks, just compressed air from sparkplug hole. I have made long metallpipe and welded some plugtread hollow bolt and other end metall tyre pressure valve, easy to see if pressure drops a lot, then its time to take head away. Pistons can be on highest position one cylinder at time, so no worry if it drops little bit. Hardest part is to be carefull that valve spring locking parts won't dropp inside engine. But sometimes it's time to check/do full headworkif engine is in bad condition, same time new pistons etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
