    Sweet. That is pretty steep I can tell. Usually if I am working on my car in the garage, I leave the ass hanging out to leave more room. Then I need to get it in and close the garage I push myself and use a baseball glove to chock the back wheel when I move to pull the parking brake.

    Oh and, put some air in the tires on the grey one.

        i took the head off tonight. it took 4 hours and it was FREEZING COLD out there. my hands were numb most of the time. anyway nothing looks visibly damaged, yet the motor had barely any compression. timing was still all straight, so nothing happened to the belt. going to drop the head off at the machine shop so he can double check, then ill be ordering a replacement set of valves :\

        before i started


        ugh, salt


        disassembling


        3 pairs of pants, 4 shirts, coveralls, 3 pairs of socks, hat and gloves. it was cold!!!


        it was 23° out there in the garage!! my kerosene heater is broken, i need to replace the wick tomorrow.


        working


        heads ready to come off!


        hmmmm


        nothing is visibly bent or damaged...



        not very many bolts/parts needed to be taken apart to pull the head off.

            There are a lot of times that the valves won't look bent...

            That is one of the things that sucks when they get bent just a little bit...

            Good to see it is moving along, sorry to hear that you had to do that in the cold garage.

              yeah, last time they didnt look bent either, but once i stood them all up next to each other on a table, you can see a couple of the stems were slightly angled compared to the other ones. i guess ill see soon enough as far as these go...

                dropped the head off at the shop today. the intake valves are perfect, the exhaust ones are in question... hes pulling them out to measure them, then ill be ordering a few new valves. fortunately it wont cost as much as it did last time
