metalmonkey47 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Crappy cell pic, but I cleaned the first two pistons up real nice. Better pic when I'm done cleaning the shit up tomorrow. No worries, I coated the cylinder walls with WD40 so it doesn't rust. Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Today was a BIG work day. Drilled some holes and put in the eye-hooks for the Simpson 6-point, did some more sanding on the primer, cleaned up the head some more. Also started cutting some sheet metal to make block offs for the EGR. Stripped the valve cover to re-paint it just to find out that I liked it better bare so I just cleaned it up and cleared it. oics will follow.

I'm BLUE Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 nice job , head looks clean ! :D Lapping those valves while you wait ? :) Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Dropped out the valves in about 10 min and seperated each in sandwich bags, then spent 15 minuets cleaning the head and rocker assembly. I have secrets. Lapping the valves tomorrow morning before work Got the valve grinding compound sitting out waiting on me. Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 ^^^ schweeeeeeet ! No you do them now live video feed :lol: "water based" valve grinding compound seems to wash off easier in my experience , but the grease based last's longer ( both permatex products ) Quote Link to comment
