Night #33 ~72 hours
Spent last night cleaning the last of the valves, installing the valve stem seals, and trying to install the valves.
That is quite possibly the most frustrating job on this car. In the space of 2 hours, i only got 7 valves installed.
Sure am glad i didnt ask the machine shop to do it for me, my bill would have been huge lol.
A note on the valve stem seals: i'll post pics later
The Kbox inner seal diameter is noticably smaller than that of my old exhaust and intake seals.
And the seals have the same colouring as the Intake seals. I thought they were black - they arnt.
So, hopefully these seals will last a while
Im hoping to have the remaining valves installed tonight, so i can get the buckets and cam shafts back in. Freeing up some much need desktop space. At that point i can see if all those carefull measurements i took were correct lol
