Installing Nickel Alloy Valve Seats

  • I want to show you a quick video on how I install nickel alloy valve seats in panheads 1948-'65. From the factory, panheads come with brass seats. These don't really hold up with the gas they're selling these days. It eats away at the seats due to a high concentrate of alcohol and methanol. This is a quick video of how I install these seats in Harley heads.

    I am a Machinist, That is a nice shop. You can tell a lot by how a shop is kept. I see a very organized and clean shop with the tools you need at each station in arms reach, that means you take pride in your work.
