I think I'll give that box a shot in the press, I've been needing a use for it!
If you've never done it before, 320 finishing up at 4-600 works just fine. I start more aggressively at about 180 and work up. Before you start though, how proud are the sleeves? If they're only a few thousands, I'd just leave 'em be.I've read that 320 is the way to go?
I'm anxious to get the jugs off
Looks like red RTV. Not sure why it's there as guides are a press fit. Just remove all of it and press on.What is the red stuff that looks to be coming out from underneath the valve guides? Is this indicating something that needs to be replaced?
The shaft's themselves don't have seals. There's a seal for the bushing that goes into the shaft oil passageway. Here's a hard fast rule of seals.... If it requires tearing the engine down to replace it, replace it while the engines tore down.should the rocker shaft seals be replaced?
Not normal. I'd pull it back off and investigate.I put the new valve stem seals on, pushed them on as much as I could, and this one seems a bit crooked. Is this normal?
That's a good one, Jim! I'ma remember dat one!If it requires tearing the engine down to replace it, replace it while the engines tore down.
