(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Had one of my heads apart--one intake valve out--and while rummaging thru all my pack-rat crap I came across one chevy intake PC seal. Soooo.......
I look at it and slide it on the valve stem--perfect fit!- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) -just like the chevys I used to put these on--Sooooo...... I put it on the guide top--again, a perfect fit! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Soooooo.... I put the valve back into the guide and trial fit this seal again......Perfect fit! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Sooooo............ I leave it there and put the spring and retainer together and then compress the valve wayyyy past where stock would be--no fouling! Soooooo........ In my turbo motor I am building--these would be prudent,,,,No????? Any first hand experience running these before???? |

We don't run them unless we DLC coat the valves.
With DLC basically the valves could run with no oil and almost be okay! The stuff kills friction in its tracks! |
