Can't seem to get in any cleaner than this, any ideas?

1000grit wet and dry paper

Not being nasty but why make a new thread every-time instead of sticking to one and posting in that?

 

[Ben94]

Thanks

 

[Ben94]

As good as I can get it

[Dan@SJM]

Have you checked that its true? As it could need a skim.

 

[Ben94]

Yeah it looked fine to me, what's the most effective way to check? And would you say it still needs cleaning?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Engineers rule/machined straight edge

 

[Pauleds]

May as well just get it skimmed, job done then.

 

[Ben94]

Yeah I called up a place that will skim it for £40, good price or not?

 

[mr.pink87]

Sounds fine.

 

[Dan@SJM]

£40 is about the going rate, worth doing rather than throwing it back together to find its still fucked

 

[Ben94]

Yeah sounds like the best idea to me then

 

[Ben94]

Is it advised to remove the valves before getting it skimmed? Got told it was and wasn't

 

[Dan@SJM]

Nah not if they don't petrude. Take the rocker shaft off and you'll be fine

 

[Ben94]

Ok cheers will get that sorted tomorrow

 

[Ben94]

Getting the head skimmed on Monday and the bloke doing it said the I don't need to remove the valves but I had a look at them and they are petruding so I don't see how it can get skimmed like that? Any easy way around that?

 

[MG cup]

Valves look below flush mate? It depends how he mills it. If he fly cuts it all at once you will need to remove protruding valves, if he is using a milling head he can steer around the valves.

Its better to have it fly cut as there is no chance of varying thickness /lips.

 

[Ben94]

Ok cheers will find out how they are going to do It. Think it will be fly cut as its in a big engineering place

 

[Ben94]

Also is there anything I need to know or be careful of when removing the valves?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Be bloody careful not to loose the collets.

Are any of the valves open? They should be closed with the rockers off.

 

[Ben94]

Ok. Yeah I think they were closed?

 

[Dan@SJM]

If they're closed you won't need to remove the valves.

 

[Ben94]

There's something not flush with the head though?

 

[MG cup]

I think your on about the locating dowel at the top left of your 2nd pic, you can remove it with pliers.

 

[Ben94]

I will remove that anyway but in the second pic you can see the valve that's second in from the right is sticking out slightly more than the others for some reason?

Circled it in this pic?

 

[Fred@BTM]

could you possibly take some smaller photos?

 

[Ben94]

This one any better haha

[MG cup]

If you have the cams out then that looks like a bent valve mate, why do you have it apart anyway?

 

[Ben94]

Nah the cams are still in there mate? And replacing the head gasket

 

[MG cup]

Take the cam out, that's what's holding open your valve

 

[Ben94]

Ah perfect cheers mate

 

[Ben94]

Can I remove the cam without having to take the valves out then? And also I take it I will have to remove the rockers?

 

[Ben94]

??

 

[MG cup]

Yes to both

 

[Ben94]

Ok cheers! Easy thing to do? Sorry about all the questions it's my first time doing it

 

[Dan@SJM]

You shouldn't need to remove the cam if you remove the rockers...

 

[Ben94]

Ok so just removing the rockers will bring it back to being flush?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Yeh as the valves won't have any pressure on them
