    Tools you'll need:
    0. Safety Glasses and Ear Protection
    1. Air Hammer and Air Compressor
    2. Valve Guide Driver (Specific for your valve size)
    3. Valve Guide Reamer (Specific for your valve size)
    4. Valve Guide Hone (Specific for your valve size)
    5. Micrometer
    6. Intake and Exhaust Valves
    7. Pin Gauges or Bore Gauges
    8. Penetrating Oil
    9. 10W30 Engine Oil or Honing Oil
    10. Copper Washers
    11. Tube Brushes (Steel)
    12. Wipes and Wooden stick (to clean guide bore while honing)
    13. Torch (If needed)

    It wasn't really a video I needed to watch.
    More so curious what information you planned to share.
    You definitely covered everything possible to help anyone undertake this job.
    As part of my business I was previously involved in engine reconditioning, more so rebuilding Motorcycle engines.
    I did enjoy the work.
    But, found that even though it was personally satisfying it wasn't exactly financially rewarding ???
    Another, Very Good video from you guys👍👍

    Really enjoy watching you guys work through the challenges! Maybe a future project you could do something like this but for an old Slant 6 or Stovebolt or even SBC/SBF though that would be a lot more fabrication. Really looking forward to you firing up this beast.

    congratulations guys, great video! I observed one thing, when you use a reamer, you make the first entry from the combustion chamber side, but then you changed, you did it from the tappet side. what is the correct condition?, I await your response, hello and thank you.

    So you say you would put heat on the head to ease the extraction of the guide. Wouldn’t that expand the aluminium and put more pressure on the guide? I would have thought that cooling the guide to contract it would make more sense.

    • @andrewlindley8209
      @andrewlindley8209 7 месяцев назад +1

      When you fit new guides they are never 100% true to the seat. A few thou at the guide can make it 10 thou at the seat. Lapping the valve it just won’t cut it. You need to get the head to a machine shop to cut the seats to give a 100% seal at the seat.

    I know you'll have to get custom cams made, and that only requires $$$.
    But I've never seen custom head gaskets before........are you going to o-ring the heads or something like that?

      @@brysonshires9742 there are differences in the 2v vs 4v heads, but only slightly. I think the 3v is the same as the 2v and 4v though. They should be able to use the v10 stock gaskets. I believe the cooling ports on a 4v are the same for 2v except maybe one at the front of the head. I don't know that for sure. I did a 4v head swap years ago on a 2v block and used a 2v gasket. I had no issues with it.

      Yup, both the v10 2v or 3v would work. There’s two thicknesses we can choose from 0.040” or 0.050”. We’ll be going with the 0.050” for our build. The other difference between the 2v and 3v gaskets is the size of the holes for the coolant ports. For the 3v gasket, some of the holes are either not there or smaller than the 2v gasket. We’ll most likely use 3v gaskets.
