Will? Isn't that Thomas Dolby? Or is that before some forum members' time?

Yep, that's who I was talking about! Science!

Did you grind the valves yourself? My dad is giving me an old Sioux valve grinder and I can't wait to start screwing some things........ I mean doing some proper head rebuilding with it.

Always knew this would come in handy some day: http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/recent-farm-sale-purchase.40347/

Oh crap, maybe I should have read this before asking that last question. Nice job!!

Got my bearings, seals and some other parts Yesterday. The heads are done, pic. of my valve spring compressor.

Very creative. I like to see some good old fashioned overkill

It did stress the 50 ton press a bit

 

[n8in8or]

Wow really!? I just use a handheld Craftsman model on mine.

It's what I have, an arbor press would be handier. I borrowed a Valve spring compressor last time.

Oh yeah, I love that you improvised, that's great to see. I'm surprised the 50 ton press worked to compress the valve springs - I would have thought it would have been easy work for something that size.

LOL, I was joking. The gauge never moved, IIRC the springs take 80 lbs to start compression at extended length up to 200+ lbs at full compression.

Oooooooh! That makes more sense to me. That damn sarcasm font still eludes us!

I find that for a sarcastic or smart-ass comment, putting the word snark in parentheses at the end of the sentence helps the more aware among us to recognize the sarcasm (snark).

 

[NVW]

I could have used this

 

[Husker6.5]

Yeah, that would work, there really isn't a sarcasm or tongue in cheek emogee to chose from and you can't count on people always picking up on it without the benefit of voice inflection.
