[@Chefheezy]

Love your content man. I can't wait to see you blow up big.

[@sysmyth]

Loved this series, did you finish the build?

[@stevenbauer7744]

Your videos have come out at the right time. I may be doing this for my '84 325e soon. Did the machinist lap the valves, or did yo do that off camera? A dab of grease on the keeper helps it stick to the valve stem before you release the spring compressor.

[@GordosGarage]

Steven Bauer he told me he did everything, I guess we’ll find out 😂 I’ll be pulling this head back off as soon as I receive the 2.9 block and I have a spare head as well so no big deal if I have to dive back into it. Not like I’ll ever be “finished” with the car anyway, perpetual tinkering 😁

@@GordosGarage Not.... Each lapped valve becomes a match for each individual seat as the last step in a three angle valve job.

[@josephzhao2521]

I am not sure, but I think you have you rocker shaft seals backwards.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Did you even lap the valves in?

[@sleeper165]

9 months for that head? Your machinist had to go to training first? Brooks Elliot cylinder heads all the way FTW.

[@GordosGarage]

wow wish I would have known this last year lmao

[@GordosGarage]

just an amateur though so I don't really know any better :)

[@sleeper165]

@@GordosGarage I don't know what the deal is with machine shops but its not uncommon for this to happen. 😕

[@Harry13002]

Thinking about pulling my head off on my 320i soon. I think the stem seals have gone as it munches oil off throttle and misfires on start up if left for a week or two (oil getting into a cylinder I think). Did you replace the valve guide seals as well? Great video!

[@GordosGarage]

Harrison Wade thanks!! The valve guide seals were replaced but the valve guides themselves were in spec according to the machinist
