  1. Any tips on removing rust in the water jacket. I was thinking of installing the head then using a hose flush it.
  2. I have three stones 45 30 and 60. They are from an antique valve seat grinding kit. Which stone should I use first
  3. It disappeared when I used a wire brush and brake clean. Any ideas on filling the deck.
  4. Good eye but it is just buggered up from my efforts to remove the valve. A tool probably slipped and gouged the deck a little. Hopefully the head gasket will cover it.
  5. I can’t get a grip on the stem with vice grips. Should I file it so I can get a wrench on it.
  6. Some progress. By using the tool I was able to get the valve to move partially. The tool (made in China) crumbled. I was able to get the valve to spin with the tool and a cheater bar. Unable to do so otherwise.
  7. I purchased this tool, however the collets keep slipping or breaking. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
  8. I can bring it to work. At work we have milling machines and a lathe. But I’m not sure what I can do at a shop that I can’t do at home.
  9. The mig welder will not stick to the valve. I even tried to pre heat it with mapp gas. Perhaps the carbon content of the metal is to blame. Another possibility is I have the worlds cheapest welder. I tried to weld the nut first but it wouldn’t stick to the stem. I’m sure if I brazed it would stick but I’m out of gas.
  10. I taped the valve stem and put a nut with jb weld on it. I didn’t hold at all. Perhaps there was some oil or it has been cold and needed longer to cure.
  11. There is nothing above the block.
  12. If all else fails I’ll break out the welder.
  13. I was able to tap the valve down and use a pry bar to move it up a little. After doing this twice I got very hopeful but it is still stuck. I got the bottom of the valve stem to clear the valve guide by a 16th of an inch or so. I’m not sure what is the best next step. I could either continue tapping it down and cut off the excess at the bottom. Or I could try to push the valve up from the bottom using a bolt or something. I could try to drill out the valve entirely, but I would need a stronger drill bit or I could use a carbide and grind it away.
  14. Because I use this car every day I want to have another motor ready for when this one gets tired
  15. I will try to use the valve guide. If the new valve is too loose I can knurl the stem.
  16. If the valve guide is damaged how can I replace it. Is it threaded!?
  17. I tried to get it to turn with a pair of vice grips. I tried to cut above the marks. I’ll file it. Is there a way to press the valve up.
  18. Should I tap and drill the valve. If I can get a bolt head on the stem it could be helpful.
  19. I decided to do a ground up restoration on the car. I need to disassemble everything get everything down to bare metal repair what is needed then paint and reassemble. I’m going to see if I can get the parts car running and driving.
  20. I cut the valve at the bottom. Removed the spring. Engine spins freely. Valve still stuck
