Hurt My Head
From anyones experience, do you think this valve seat and area is repairable? Apologies for the photos not showing the depth too well.

Yeah, its gotta go to the machine shop. I bet its repairable :thumbup:
|
Awesome. Its deffinately going to the machine shop. That gouge is the worst of it but I'm hoping they tell me its repairable. Not sure if the pix were able to show well enough but the gouge goes through the valve seat. I guess tume will tell. Thanx much.
|
I could be wrong, but if that gouge is too deep, my thought was that they can build it back up w/a proper weld & then machine it back down (again, could be wrong)
Out of curiosity do you know the circumstances of the valve failure? |
That was exactly what I was hoping could be done. Again no way of knowing until I get it to the machine shop. Ummmmm yes.....its completely my fault and my savant like nature. Was re timing things and after multiple times of telling myself to pull the cam block out from inbetween the cams.....I still forgot.........and then I cranked the engine over.........and 7 intake valves snapped off.

I am going to say that seat is junk. Time for a new one. Looks way too deep to do a regrind on. And even at that, once you remove material from the seat, you have to remove material from the top of the valve to make sure the overall height doesnt change. And on top of all that, my bet is that all the intake guides are going to be bad as well. Send it off to a machine shop...

Yeeeeah, It's getting new everything minus springs retainers and locks

The pix arent very good at showing the depth. The gouge goes though the seat into the head
|
a good machine shop can fix that.

Sean, wasnt keen enought to recognize that. Most of that damage is on that pressed-in seat? That can just be removed & replaced, correct?
|
Ooof. That does sound bad. As far as i can tell only one guide looks damaged. It actually looks like it started to shatter. But I'm going to replace all the guides regarless just to safe.
