this is very helpful! I think I might have an issue with my valve seals as I get oil out through the exhaust and out through the cylinderhead... But does seem I need a lot of tools
Other than the basics, torque wrench and spring compressor is about it. I will admit the spring pressure was pretty stiff, much stiffer than the last truck engine I did. I was surprised, I'm used to small Honda engines you can push the springs by hand. This was a very fun engine to work on. Thanks for watching.
I`m sorry you did not have my Neway valve seat cutter kit. Valves may not leak the way you did them, but it`s not ideal. Grinding like you did is best after cutting valve seats, just a finishing touch. Then perform a leak test with gasoline or similar. I missed the part when you leak tested them and found them not leaking. New valves deserve a decent valve job. This is not the best way of doing it.
@@Euronasa yea I agree, this is not ideal and polishing took a really long time to get a complete seal, but it did eventually work. I actually do have a valve cutter but I closed my shop and have loads of specialty tools still packed up.
Thanks for the wicked video man! Super helpful.

@@fatfingergarage1 thanks! I will see if I can find one of those large spring compressor things!
