A good introduction to Neway's cutting tools. Looking forward to the follow-up video showing the valve to seat mating pattern and how you actually make the adjustments. I might be inclined to drive the cutter under power at a very low speed.
Thank you for the comment. I was worried about the eccentricity of the seat when cutting under power. I'm sure it will be fine but let me know how it works out for you.
Great video man I've been tuned in for most of all your Oldsmobile videos it's my first time making a comment I've been building a Olds 403 engine on my 1977 Buick Riviera which has a Oldsmobile engine so I've been getting a lot of tips from your videos keep up the great work
Thank you for commenting, I'm glad you're finding my videos helpful. If you have questions don't hesitate to leave questions, I try to reply to all comments.
I just looked at the prices for kits through Neway and they seem expensive for the do it yourselfer (cost at a shop obviously more). Is this a cost effective way to do a pair of heads for yourself and is the end product as good as a machine shop process. Thanks for the Olds content
So far I am impressed with the quality of the Neway finish. Most machine shops use multi-angle radius cutters that can shape the seat from the combustion chamber to the throat. That complexity is unnecessary for street and street/strip engines, it is most beneficial in race applications. A 3 angle valve seat is beneficial to street and street/strip engines. When used properly, I believe the Neway cutter does a comparable job to valve seat grinders, and machine shop 3 angle cutters in a street, street/strip application. I suggest having a machine shop cut your seats if you don't plan on working multiple sets of heads. There is a lot of tooling and learning involved with valve seat work, it's also easy to ruin the seats by mistake without knowing the correct way to check your work. I think these cutters are a great gateway tool for someone interested in persuing valve seat work, or if someone perfers to build their engines rather than paying a shop to build them. Thank you for the excellent question, I hope this response helps!
These will in no way compare to a real seat and valve job performed on quality machines. There is a reason a Serdi machine costs what it costs, as well as the years of experience of a qualified operator of said machine. We are talking measurements in thousands of an inch that must be accurately measured on a perfectly level and square fixture. Will these get the job done ,sure but if ultimate longevity or all our performance is the goal, have your heads machined at a reputable shop.
Hello, I've been watching ur videos and love what you're doing, especially for oldsmobile engines. I was wondering if you do this just for yourself or if you offer your services for the public? I have a set of 83' 307 H.O. heads that needs a complete job like you've performed in your videos. From the porting to the intake and valve job that you've done and if at all possible, a larger intake and exhaust valve install. If so, would you provide me with your info so that I can contact you and discuss the possibility of getting this work done. Thanks in advance and keep up the great content. Long live oldsmobile!!!

I do perform work for the public, however, I just had a baby and am not doing big jobs like head reworking any time soon.
