Replacement valves have dish heads?.

November 30th, 2009

working on a 3 cylinder perkins diesel head. All the valves have dish shaped or concave heads. the original were flat. Got them from Qualcast.They are the correct number and do fit. They are bound to lower the compression some. is this what replacements are going to?Think a difference will be noticed? Don’t know what other brands are like.

Is or was there a tool to remove the caps on the Sioux 1702 stone holders? I think something like a Tor x bit in a 3/8 impact would work. Are the bearings in them a common bearing size? Thanks

Honda XR 200 head

Hello
I would like to buy a kit for re-doing my Honda motorcycle heads. I believe I need a 31 46 and 61 degree cutting heads for a 25mm and a 30 mm valve seat. My valve guide is a 5.5mm id. What can you put together for a kit to work for me. I can do all the cutting by hand I don’t need a power cutter.
Thanks

Honda CBX Exhaust seats

November 30th, 2009

I would like to touchup the exhaust valve seats for a 79 Honda CBX motorcycle. What would you recommend for Neway cutters to do this job? The exhaust seat is 25mm OD. The max dia for a cutter to do the 32 deg top cut cannot be larger than 26mm or it will cut into the side of the head.

Angles are 60 45 and 32
Thanks you
