There a couple of names from the past , the go no go feeler gauges were very interesting ! Have decided to join your pit crew join on fee will be English breakfast and COLD pint . Kit from down under
Thanks Stu.. I'd say these were right on the edge of being no good, I did advise him to replace but I think he wanted a season out of it.. at least these are a very good material
Never understood why privates buy race cars. There is virtually no spare metal to correct usage. Everything is lifed, and for someone tyring to run on a out of pocket budget, they are not viable. The head needed all new parts, if it drops a valve, that's dozens of hours work trying to save an original numbered casting. Often better to put historically interesting components on the shelf for safe keeping and build another engine. It will be down on power compared to a unit developed to the enth deg. but in period those units were stripped and rebuilt every meeting. When the driver missed a gear and over revved or changed up and over loaded the thing, they detonated into retirement. 15:1 cr was the norm and every team had a spare freshly built and dynoed unit in the race truck. Those were the cars built for the guys on their way to bigger and better things. Good old days.🙂
Super video yet again Fully understand if you wish not to answer? Rather than ruin your reputation do you ever refuse to complete a job if in heart of hearts you know it may fail

Hi Kit how are you.. you're welcome to join the team, fair distance to travel, always a good breakfast and beer I'll even cook it for you..
Top notch job as always
Thanks Mike
Great footage as usual.
Thank you.
Nice Instructive Video !
But How fine do you cut an exhaust valve before you say, NO ! This valve will burn through too fast ?
Stay safe
Stu xx

Yes I know what you mean.. they were worn but not completely scrap so will be ok until next time. I would have replaced ideally

I would have refused if I thought it would fail.. the valves wasn't 100% but would last due to the quality of them. But yes I would refuse.
