Are you getting valve guides Nicole? I measured mine last night on my project engine and they are wellll over spec for wobble.
The valves stems are fine. I won't change them.
Tbh I never checked them and have left them. Engine showed no signs of worn guides and they felt tight
Finished my gearbox, not done the bits I wont be able to get to in the bay for keeping ontop of the shine, possibly going to paint these as you cant see them on the car. Nighttime photos dont really do it justice
got these from tegiwa for a verrry good price over Honda/Lings
all oem main and big end bearings and a barb for the head
Kunifer brake pipe and 40/40 non-ABS valve from Eternal - even polished it ha
Went to see the car and bay for the first time at the painters this week to start on brake lines. hes kindly let me use the ramp to make my life 10x easier
and my beeeeeautiful bay so many holes welded up!
can see the lovely shiny underseal hes used to do all under the crash bar/rad support at the front
and then started on the lines, hole drilled in the bulkhead and a rivnut in meant I could mount the bias valve really low down out the way. doing these lines is definitely a labour of love. quite proud how they've come out still got the rear ones to do and one more from the master cylinder - then clips and separators to secure them all. the fuel line will be cut and then I'll relocate that fuel filter down too.
I have a full outfit underneath my dirty stuff, fat little muchkin ha
and braided lines on
