What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
It looks like I have two good 308 heads. I started in on the gasket matching today. I got the valves pulled and checked the seats, they look good but I think I'll probably want to have them magnafluxed and get a three angle valve job. I'll be cleaning up the runners after work this coming week. I have at least one cracked head I can practice on to get a good feel for how cautious I need to be.
I'm pretty happy with the work I got done today. Most of the valves didn't look too bad, and I have a total of four heads I can scavenge for good valves.
Tomorrow, I can get some work done on the block.
Here I have the right runner matched, left not matched yet. I left a lot of meat for the pushrod tunnels. I can take more off later if needed, but would rather avoid risking cutting through.
Here are the other runners in the same head.
Oops.
I had to head home before finishing this last runner. Monday night I suppose.
