360 Mopar Heads Little Red Express.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Very good lessons, Ed. I’m very glad that the bowls were left open enough to blend exactly in to the new seats. They sure look better! People won’t believe the before and after pictures of these heads!

[@edsmachine93]

Thanks Joe, I appreciate you watching and your positive comments. Have a good evening. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@terrygrover6440]

Another nice job ed, heads are only as good as a good valve job seat and guides let them be , all the porting in the world won't help without the other 3 things being right, thanks for sharing your excellent work and knowledge with us 👍

[@edsmachine93]

Thank you Terry, I appreciate you watching and the positive comments. Have a good evening. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@terryboothe2309]

I believe that you are taking what most would consider junk and replace it with new heads . Very good video . I don’t recall ever hearing of the liquid weld . I was expecting some type of high temp loctite or something similar . Thank you for showing it all

[@edsmachine93]

Thank you Terry, I appreciate you watching. Sometimes things seem hopeless. It is easy to just throw things out. I think that we have all seen that. But, what if we have to fix it because we have no choice or alternative. Sure is nice to know how to do it. The sealant is called Fluid Weld. This will still alow heat to transfer. Loctite would not be the thing to use in this application. Have a good evening. 👍🇺🇸👍

Another great presentation from Prof. Ed...

[@edsmachine93]

Thank you John, I appreciate it. Good to hear from you. Have a good evening. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@moparnut6286]

Like you said go ... No go... Got a set of cheap snap gauges and that's how I've used them before... So it's good to have for your own checks... Great video Ed.

[@edsmachine93]

Thanks MoparNut, I appreciate your comments and positive feedback. Always good to be able to check your own parts. Have a good evening. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@donaldhalls2189]

This is the type of job I did once, Toyota 1hz diesel, but when I was setting the shims for the overhead cam I didn't realise the connection of cutting the seat and the size of shim,if shim is large you cut some off of the seat to lesson the shim 😂 thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@edsmachine93]

Good to hear from you Donald, thanks for watching. Overhead cams can be a challenge. Been there and done that. All the best to you and your loved ones. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@Thaddaeus417]

Great video Ed, I could watch all day.

Thanks Thad, good to hear from you. Thanks for watching. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@BrandRacingEngines]

Nice job ED. Teaching how to check the guides😁

[@edsmachine93]

Thanks Gerald, I appreciate it. Trying to help people help themselves. We have to educate people, share what we know. Have a good evening. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@acrescueguyhvac3901]

Thanks Chris, I really appreciate you watching and commenting. Have a great weekend. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@MostlyOldPartsAndRust]

Cool Ed, we were just talking about this earlier this week! Thank you for the demonstration and explanation!

[@edsmachine93]

Good morning Pat, I appreciate you watching and commenting. Yes Pat, you brought up a great point in our conversation about valve guide measurement. So this is dedicated to you, great topic! Have a great weekend. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@MostlyOldPartsAndRust]

@@edsmachine93 Thank you Ed, I hope to be doing a little measuring this afternoon. I really appreciate it!

[@edsmachine93]

@MostlyOldPartsAndRust I certainly know you got this Pat. Glad to hear you are really checking things out.👍🇺🇸👍

[@BareRoseGarage]

good stuff man

[@edsmachine93]

Thanks Kim, I appreciate you watching. Have a good day. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@blakesmusclecar]

Great video Ed. Very informative. Would going to a smaller valve stem diameter help contribute to increased flow?

[@edsmachine93]

Good morning Blake, thanks for watching. Yes, I think that it will help a little bit with flow. But the lighter weight valves are certainly a plus also. Have a good weekend. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@IndirectConnection1]

I wish you were closer...

[@edsmachine93]

Thanks Jason, I wish I was too. I appreciate you watching. Have a good evening .👍🇺🇸👍

[@joebrown9106]

Can you also add hardened valve seats to 906 heads?

[@edsmachine93]

Hi Joe, thanks for watching. Yes I definitely can do this upgrade to 906 heads. This is a common practice. Have a good weekend. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@Kenny-1958]

Do you ever stake your seats using the Kwikway staking tool ?

[@edsmachine93]

Thanks for watching Kenneth. No, I do not stake the valve seats. There is enough press fit in the seat and the counterbore. Sometimes in aluminum heads I have a tool rolling over. In the old days they did stake with a tool. Especially on heads that had valve seats and a seat was removed to install a new seat ring in the same counterbore. Have a great day.👍🇺🇸👍

[@johnnybrigham8754]

Do you Glue the seat into place? What glue do you use?

[@edsmachine93]

Did you watch the video Johnny? The seats are Not Glued in! The material I used is called Fluid Weld. The seats are held in place by press fit. Interference fit between the valve seat and counterbore. Hope you understand this now.

[@jseal21]

Can you clear something up for me Ed? Which year Mopar's have hardened seats? It always seems random to me but maybe you know the rule.

[@edsmachine93]

Hi Joshua, not sure when hard seats started. Around '73 to '75 to later '70's and beyond. These heads were definitely hard. Have a good weekend. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@jseal21]

@edsmachine93 yeah I was given bad information. I was told that they were hardened in the early 60s to mid then not again until mid 70s which seemed really weird and impossible to remember. Thanks Ed, you have a good weekend too

[@edsmachine93]

@jseal21 Hi Joshua, I was not aware of seats being hardened in the early 60's. I can tell you some of the hardening in the later 70's could be inconsistent. You could do a valve job and go through the heat treat. On inspection of the heads, if a valve seat is wide it probably is soft. The unleaded fuel causing seat recession. Have a good day.👍
