<VV> update on engine exam

[Jeffrey & Gayle Angelli]

further disassembly of the bad exhaust valve yielded the cause of it's demise. The seat was pounded out of round,the valve had serious rocking in the guide and one side of the stem was scored,so looks like guide failure followed by wallowing out the seat and letting the blowby up the now very worn guide into the rocker cover as well as continuosly bleeding off that cylinder pressure, this is the cylinder directly behind the oil cooler . Now to get it fixed .the head has no numbers on it they are wiped off by aluminum corrosion,this is a 65 motor 110 bored .030 over . the heads look like 110 heads but the tip of the point between the valves is lower than the rest of the raised part of the chamber but not quite equal in height to the valve seat surface ,almost looks like someone ground it that way but there are no marks to indicate such. need a new guide, valve, valve seat  no way I will attempt that myself .I am in buffalo NY anyone nearby who does head work? also will get new rings and gap them myself or most likely use total seal gapless. what can i use to clean off the carbon safely ? . thanks again . regards jeff angelli
