I guess we must be about the same age. i learnt the sharp wrap on a socket trick hundreds of years ago. Shame it doesn't work for putting them back. and you have the same grinding technique as i use. My father and older brother taught me that in the 60's. A lot of utube videos show people using an electric drill on the stem of the valve, this i was told would leave rings in the faces. +
Yes, most of us old timers would know the socket trick. I started doing the videos to help people who don't have much experience & hopefully I show that anyone can work on their bike with a minimum of equipment. I agree using a drill to valve lap is a bad idea. Thanks for watching & taking the time to leave a comment.
it was on a bike I believe had been in a flood. Never ran the engine simply started looking for faults. Spark plug corroded into the head was first sign of neglect. You can see how I fixed it on my video 'rescue bike'
I had to regrind an old Ford Falcon head way back in 1972, it's a lot of fun.
Yes it is, I couldn't believe how tiny the valves are in the CT.
