Installing Valve Guides - - A Series Rebuild - Part 2

[@ziggassedup]

When I started we serviced and repaired heads...I found it fun.

[@Badgertronix]

I'm enjoying this a lot. It's cheap, simple fun and a whole lot easier than the VW/Audi stuff I'm used to

[@wyattoneable]

Your an accomplished DIY'er Jonathon. All the tools you need, skill and shop space. Well done.

[@Badgertronix]

It's fantastic being able to get these jobs done myself. A real feeling of accomplishment. Thanks Wyatt

[@garyphillips7993]

Nice to see you're giving it the full Monty with springs, guides, valves and stem seals. In my hay day I had a selection of brass drifts machined down so they'd sit inside the new guide whilst still pushing down on the guide, stopped any slipping around. Occasionally they'd need reaming out to size them. No doubt things have moved on now though.

[@Badgertronix]

For the cost of parts it would be silly not too. A stepped drift would have been ideal for installing them but don't have any in my toolbox yet. Cheers

[@volgnit]

I've had a few valve guides replaced over the years including in an MGBGT years ago and the head looked just like that one. Lol !! I have never seen it done before though. The magic of KZbin.

[@Badgertronix]

I've never seen it done before either so you'll have to wait until startup to see if it was the right way to do it! Cheers mate

[@volgnit]

@@Badgertronix I'm sure it was. I mean. How hard can it be. Right ??

[@MrLargePig]

Your attention to detail is impressive.

[@Badgertronix]

Doing it in front of the camera helps with that otherwise people call you out on all kinds of things! Cheers

[@victorbitter583]

That worked. I was a bit dubious about the bolt for both removing and installing (especially removing) but it seemed to go well. Nice one. cheers.

[@Badgertronix]

The bolt worked great for removing. I wish I had used something different to install them to avoid the burrs. Cheers

[@victorbitter583]

@@Badgertronix You must have a good eye. There was a risk of scoring the hole the guide goes into with the thread. I'd use something smooth but that's just me.

[@CarsExposed]

Fits like a glove 😊🙌🙌.... looking good mate 👍👍👍👍

[@Badgertronix]

Cheers mate! It's coming along nicely

[@snocrushr]

Having fun watching along 👍👍

[@Badgertronix]

Thanks buddy

[@robertdennis3716]

A short piece of angle steel to bridge across 3 guides and you can press to height by feel.

[@EXOVCDS]

That is one solid piece of cylinder head... good for 35psi boost & a 200 shot of NOS! =)

[@Badgertronix]

Maybe it needs an ebay turbo 🤔🤣

[@gwestendorp567]

Well done ,you are an herald.

[@therat5680]

Nice work,thanks for the tutorial Thank you! 👍

[@Badgertronix]

Thanks 😊

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

The valve guide needs a simple drift (which you could make with some scrap bolts) with a pilot that can fit into the ID of the guide. And this pilot should go in a third or a half, the length of the guide. Also the top side of the drift should be faced flat. This way the guide will go in without deviating from the vertical.

[@tombob671]

Thanks for the tutorial, cheers from Oklahoma

[@Badgertronix]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@paulmayou370]

coming along nice mate

[@Badgertronix]

Getting there slowly. Your new car looks nice mate

[@paulmayou370]

Badgertronix cheers mate yeah not too bad gotta replace compleate front suspension new brakes all round and new tyres that’s all it needs and prices not too bad being a Mercedes

[@125sm3]

Looking good.

[@Badgertronix]

cheers

[@theoracle6005]

I am doing up a 948cc head and wondering if you used the grooved valve guides from ESM Valve Guide - 10M170GK Stem Seals - 10M186A Just wanted to get your opinion on using these guides and stem seals

[@Badgertronix]

I couldn't tell you sorry. If they come from ESM then it's probably the way to go

[@theoracle6005]

Thanks Jonathan

[@zoidberg444]

I didn't realise the valve stems were pressed in free like that. I thought there would be a narrowing or a stop inside the casting to let you know when to stop pressing. I'll have to remember that if i ever have to rebuild one of these.

[@Badgertronix]

The guide I linked in the description tells you all you need to know. Nice and simple tech 👍

[@zoidberg444]

@@Badgertronix I will have a read of it mate. Thanks.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Nicely done , I wonder if it could be done without a press. I'd say yes but pretty buggered up forsure 🤣

[@garyphillips7993]

Been there, done that, not recommended 😏

[@SteveRobReviews]

@@garyphillips7993 😂😂

[@Badgertronix]

I'm sure it has been and to good effect too. Not by me though unless you want mushroom shaped valve guides

[@victorbitter583]

Easily done with an air chisel and the right pilot. I reckon I could have done that one with a lump hammer and a few drifts.

[@txsviking]

Good as new.

[@Badgertronix]

I hope so. Thanks buddy

[@goodo5691]

i would have thought you would have pressed the valve guides in with a bigger diameter than the guide...not smaller

[@kiwozif1]

did you see your little helper at 4:25

[@Badgertronix]

I did. There were a few of those around 😀

[@johnobiro5202]

I had to stop watching this one. Why did you leave your drift in the press when you were putting the new seats in? Surely it would have made sense to press them with the larger drift to eliminate all the arseing about with a rule.

[@victorbitter583]

I found you on ZiggassedUp. Subbed. cheers.

[@Badgertronix]

Awesome. Thanks and welcome. Zig is a great guy 😊

[@prawny12009]

did you ream the guides after fitting and did you recut the valve seat to match the new guides?

[@Badgertronix]

Haven't reamed them but I will cut new seats

[@victorbitter583]

See them pistons and rods on the bench? Do you know why the big end is offset like that?

[@Badgertronix]

I did read about that somewhere but I can't remember why 🤔

[@victorbitter583]

@@Badgertronix If you remove the end cap I'd bet money (lots of it) that it's wider than the piston. For it to have that size big end bearing, it would be impossible for the rod to fit down the bore unless it was offset. As far as I can remember anyway. cheers.

[@Wael-tt7my]

You are doing great work I like this car but we don't have like it in Iraq and our cars are lift steering good work
