    machine work?

    Well since this is part of my mechanics course, i plan to use it to the max.....

    i have a xflow head that i want to put (2lt sohc inlet vavles and 1.6 sohc exhaust) vavles in.

    What is the name of the tool (grinding stone?) that makes the valve seats larger? One with a 35 degree taper.
    And can they be bought off the self or are they only offer to machine shops?

    Welll...
    Most machine shops, worth using, wont be using grind stones.

    A "serdi" machine is the current most poular, arguably the best.

    All valve work is done consecutively.

    Whilst on all set up etc..
    Ull need to do some mill work in the valve area.

    Also the X-Flow need this done on the inlet tract, so flip the ed 90' and do them too.



    Best have a look ere, as well.

    There is considerable debate about the use of chambered heads, on this engine.
