Valve grinding is pretty technical & there is a fair bit to know. If you’ve rebuilt cranks with good results you have the technical aptitude to grind valve seats. The problem with the Neway cutter is that it’s almost impossible to get a concentric seat because you’re cranking the tool with your wrist. This Sioux kit is several thousand dollars but I bought part of it used.

@ChuckfromTrueTech Thank you. Yes, thats what I also have heard about the Neway. Guess I will be on the lookout for something used, and maybe start with a already ruined head for practice.

10 ton. I have a full video on how to do it.

Hi can you send me link for your crank press vid

Check the next couple shorts.

Princess auto/Harbour Freight.

I’ve probably got 30 of them but there 2 that I use on 90% of engines.

Sounds like you’ve put some effort into your own space.

I order it from a metal shop. A 4x8 sheet sheared in half & bent 1” up in the back & 1” down in the front.

I need more room for disassembled parts & inventory. I’d also like a TIG, more room for bits & tooling & about 2’ wider. Otherwise this space is ideal for a one man shop.

Why would I buy a drill press when I have a milling machine?

@ChuckfromTrueTech Then the real questions is. Why would you use a drill motor if you have a milling machine?

@ChuckfromTrueTech I don't watch your channel. I stumbled across a short of a guy hacking two holes in the side of a piston with a dill motor, smaching flesh between a drill chuck and what looked to be a new piston held in his hand. He did this after reading a card that suggested a 5/64 dill size. Then, he used a countersink held in his hand to remove what I assume was a nasty bur from the holes that had walked off center, before rubbing a stone sloppily around the hole scratching the coating on the skert. Forgive me, I thought I was making a suggestion to a guy in his garage butchering a piston. Getting sarcastic with a viewer that made a light-hearted comment based on your video isn't a great way to gain viewership. If you need some real machine work done, call a professional.

They’re just a transient collection from years of wrenching. Sometimes I buy common fasteners on Amazon.

Have a look at the reel I did a few days ago on how a 2 stroke works.

It will cause accelerated wear on the chain & timing gears.

@ ok 👍 I think I’ll leave it where is it as today when I went to start it it only ticks for about 3 seconds when cold I’m guessing until it makes oil pressure once it’s warm it doesn’t tick at all I’m definitely going to invest in a dirt tricks tensioner. I love your content by the way and that’s for the help 👍

It’s a basic procedure that any 2 stroke engine builder has known since the 60s.

@ cool. I’m not a builder of two strokes never had the need but I like this. Seems like every builder everywhere since the sixties knows they’d have holes in the pistons already.

That’s normal with Allballs fork seals. They’re junk.

Hi Paul. I remember. I think I bought your ‘13 300 XC-W. Are you after the video I did on the lowering or do you mean a lowering link?

@ChuckfromTrueTech yes lowering I saw you speak about cutting spacers and ordering 2 inch shorter springs if that helps narrow it down
