ok, I ran into a problem the local machine shop does not have reamers to take care of my valve guides if he replaces them. Not sure what's his f'ng problem (grrrr). He spent two weeks dicking around with my head. Can you tell I am a bit annoyed?
So it looks like it's up to me. Going to order a reamer and the valve guide tool. I have a floor shop drill press that will give specific speeds. Customary wisdom says I need to
1) replace guides
2) ream guides for good fit
3) cut new seats as the center has changed
4) lap valves
I have a couple of questions, since I don't have access to a machine shop, I need to do as much by hand.
1) Has anybody ordered the reamer and valve cutter?
2) If so, what's the cheapest?
3) I have been reading on various reamers and what kind for our valve guides?I think they are just harden steal.
