Re: Truck based woody
With 4 doors hung and no more maple for a while, I have once again turned my after work attention to the mechanical aspects. My first valve grinding with the proper equipment. About half cleaned up right away with just the 45 degree angle and a 3/32" seat, and the other half needed the 30 degree top cut. I'm using nors 8ba exhaust valves and guides. Just to check my work I am lapping them in very lightly. Hoping to use the new ball hone and then drill my tappet bores this weekend and final clean and paint before assembly. I bought a really long 1/8" drill bit and the same in 3/16". Which one should I use?
