You screw the bolt in, then turn the head through 180 degrees and then use the punch to knock the guide out. Knocking the punch again the bolt you've just screwed in.

I may as well have a pop myself Andy if that vid is anything to go by. An evening and they'll be done. Just got to sort some tinware and then paint or powder coat it and I can get the other jobs sorted.

My new firewall rocked up today.
I need to get it cleaned up and I can then get the fuel tank back in.

Nice. Cleaning and then spraying it ?

Subject: Re: 71 Early Bay (formerly known as Superdry) Wed Dec 17, 2014 9:54 pm

Def going to clean it, might give it a different finish rather than just painting it..... Wink

scoops, I just did the valves guides and stem seals on my POLO CYL head.

Its not that bad to be honest.

Just keeping it all super clean and measure / mark it all up. you'll be fine.

Make sure you lap the valves in correctly and that there is a watertight seal.

To check the seal I used a bit of engineering blue to check the valve to valve seat mating surface. Then I partially rebuilt the head by installing the valves with the springs. Install the spark plugs. turn the head over (get it as level as possible) and fill the Chambers in the head with petrol to check for leaks.

Nice one.
Going to order the valves and guides tonight.

How about a brand that's motor related, there's loads of good clothing motifs out there :p

Keep your suggestions coming....

Subject: Re: 71 Early Bay (formerly known as Superdry) Sat Dec 20, 2014 8:29 pm

I like the idea of pasting your magazine featured Van on it, or maybe past it over ALL your fan housing and tinware (not straight and over lapping, random).

You could see what it would look like if you could photoshop it on.
You could also try this theme or idea with vinyl wrap, if you could get the idea printed up.

As anyone see it done before?

Similar what people do to their vehicle interiors or ceilings.

Just ordered new valves and guides, some replacement tinware pieces, heat exchangers, new tinware screws, heater piping, new pulley, crankshaft oil seal and installation tool, sump plate with drain hole, tank filter, breather joints, battery tray and some full flow kit.
That should get me back on the go!

Subject: Re: 71 Early Bay (formerly known as Superdry) Sat Jan 03, 2015 5:44 pm

What heat exchangers have you bought?

Subject: Re: 71 Early Bay (formerly known as Superdry) Sat Jan 03, 2015 5:55 pm

Machine 7 repops.
One of mine had a slight hole in and the other was battered

Good luck, the fit on the fasty ones was shit and they are split somewhere near no3 cylinder inside the jacket :/

Just asking as I have been looking and C&C (might be vwh thinking about it) do a ' superior ' one which I have been contemplating over taking a risk on old origins parts...

I'll be interested to hear your views when you get them..
