Someone suggested to use oven cleaner to tidy up the lower intake manifold, it didn't really work very well.

Potassium Hydroxide + pitted Aluminium => Hydrogen + "soot that is not easy to remove"

Perhaps they were thinking about a different recipe for oven cleaner or smooth aluminium.

Taking a closer look at the valve guides. The intake guides have plenty metal to drive them safely into the head from the top end, however the exhaust valves look very delicate at the top edge which will take the driving load.

Here is a pc of both intake and exhaust guides from the top and below, plenty meat on the bottom of both.

This image is hidden for guests.
Please log in or register to see it.



I'm thinking about removing the snap rings and driving the exhaust guides in from below. Either way I will heat the heads to 80degC and buy some dry ice to cool the guides and drive in tools down to -80degC.

The original MB "drive in" tool (110589011500) looks like this. Looking at it's shape it would seem to me that the drive in pressure must be applied to the top edge rather than some lower part of the guide. Hence the need to ream the guides after use.

Has anyone ever seen or used one of these? I've also seen it listed as 910589011500.

I worked out that the CSA of the top edge is about 30sqmm and that the snap ring shoulder is 50sqmm so I'll make a tool to push down on the snap ring shoulder from the top then replace the snap ring..

Hello Jim,

to assemble the pulley: It is easy to overlook the fact that one of the six screws is on a different locking circle, which defines the installation position. I didn't notice and wondered why I couldn't fit the last screw.

Ha ha, I still have 13kg of dry ice slowly evaporating in the garage, I only needed 1kg or so but the minimum order was 15kg.

Today was spent lapping the valves. First engineers blue on the seats....

...and valves.

I used course then fine lapping compound using a conventional hand tool.

It was a slow pita but it showed all valves to be concentric with the seats, all valves showed a very consistent even pattern.

I then gave all the valves a second lap with the fine compound again using Martin's method. Using the hose to connect the drill takes out the risk of canting the valve stem.

Please log in or register to see it.



Finally I did a leak test, each recess filled with water.

I ended up with a small single drip on about half the valves after 5 minutes. I have no idea if this is good enough or not, I guess with the valve springs fitted this would be much better.

Tomorrow the other head.

There was only just the tiniest of weeps from a couple of valves, to be honest, I am almost ready to call that good.

I will take the heads up the the bike engine builder (who did the TIG welding for me) tomorrow to get his opinion if the seal is good enough. There is nothing like getting an experienced pair of hands on the head, so I put both to one side for the rest of the day.

Next I went on to rebuilding the pistons, only lost one of the wrist pin retainers pinging across the garage.

Hello,

did you got a brake bleeding vacuum bottle?
Valve test with vacuum shows much better if the seat is sealing or not.
You need just a plug or a flat iron/ alloy piece and plug the related channel.

Then you see which seat are good to go which one need more grinding work.

Nevertheless the valve and seats should seal good after the cutting job even before final grinding.

Kind regards

JP

Today I finished lapping the second head, quite a time consuming job.

This image is hidden for guests.
Please log in or register to see it.



I then took them up to the motorbike engine builder, very local, only 5 minuets away. He tested them with petrol in the intake runners and exhaust ports, the were a couple of ports with a very tiny slow weep. He said he would not do any further work on them and would be more than happy. He was amazed that the new guides had gone in so well and maintained concentricity. He had expected that the seats would have had to be re-cut, the workshop had a full set of Nuway cutters but he advised not to do it.

He had a very interesting workshop, and was rebuilding a racing engine with titanium valves......

Next I plan to go through the 80 or so plastic bags with parts in them and remove, clean and catalogue all the nuts and bolts and decide which to replace, re-plate or reuse.
Cheers

Hi Jim,

don't send the cylinder head bolts for plating! They are Nickel coated for low friction coefficient!
Otherwise you have a risk of damage the treads in the crankcase.

Hi Martin, yes, all the head bolts have been separated, I will just clean the heads of the external ones and put on some cold bluing.

Well that's most of the hardware ordered from Belmetric in nice yellow passivated zinc, I will re-plate/reuse the M12 nuts and bolts. Trying to plate over 400 items myself would have just taken too long. The cost came in at about £95 for 422 items, however shipping is £40, then import tax will be the final sting in the tail.

Hi Jim,

I wondered why you mentioned import taxes, checked out Belmetric and saw that they are located in the US. Good grief, you are buying nuts and bolts in the US!!! And even metric ones!! :woohoo:
You could have found them here. I didn't check out all sizes but a few and they were available and they sell them by the piece.
Probably too late for you but maybe interesting for others as well.

Lutz

Hi Lutz, thanks for the link, I will use them for future orders. I had a quick look at the prices, they were ~20% higher than the US supplier, however they may end up being cheaper when import tax and shipping is taken into consideration. Definitely cheaper for small orders.

I had searched for a one stop shop in the UK but had not found a good supplier for yellow passivated zinc.

Looking on the positive side, I saved a fortune by not buying from MB.
Cheers
Jim

Hi Jim,

no, nothing special.
You should renew the rubber fuel lines, the material is available for little money:
sternzeit-107.de/de/forum/forum-107/1730...orraum-zum-verteiler
As well you will need to exchange the lower (rubber) part of the Fueldistributor/air vane housing.

Be careful with the small plastic brackets at the fuel lines, they are not longer available, but you can 3D-Print them:
