................yes!! trouble is now red?...we got to watch he dont ...lure...us over to the DARK SIDE!!....cant be making mistakes on your ride" at this stage mate?? ......between us mate?..i do think ...help"..is available for the old fella...but to be fair ?  thats not our shout  .....

yes ....know what you mean mate.....that was too close for comfort last time,we were very lucky then....as regards the "help". the old fella has got to admit to ths problems before anybody can help him 

[ade the blade]

hmmmmmmm........the force is strong with these two !

ive cut a couple of lenghts of 16mm od steel tubing to reduce the size of my compression tool.ive also cut a slot length ways so i can remove the collets....ive cut about a quarter out as dont want to weaken the tube too much....its going to be a struggle getting the collets out through such a small opening but i`ll give it a go 

..............if i remember right?....we did similar but used a trolley jack handle!!!  ...the slot that lowers the jack was spot on for coletts    and the diameter was roughly 16mm on that?

[ade the blade]

oh yeah.............i remember now Clive. ya right!

[red98]

ok.....night off tonight......got some spare ribs on the go and some of ben and jerrys finest chilling in da freezer..........working tomorrow but might have a bit of spare time to spend on the fazer

[ade the blade]

fool !

[red98]

no time for the fazer today.....got a small job to do at work tomorrow so should have time to try my modified compressor tool  ......looked at machine mart catalog and they do the right tool for £23 so it might be a ride out on the thou   

[red98]

gave myself a kick up the back side and got out to the garage......my adapted tool did`nt work as i only have one pair of hands  ......so looked at the other one....with slight adjustments with an angle grinder and closing the jaws up in the vice i was able to get one of the valves out  ......also tried to get it back in again aswell.....very fiddly with the collets and my fat fingers and the lighting is not too good in the garage but i did manage it 
 so will see if i can regrind all the valves on one cylinder tomorrow......fingers crossed 

[red98]

Afternoon fazer fettling fanatics......nice day so set up bench in garden and removed all 16 valves  ...No horror stories, but I can see why compression was low, all valves are going to need regrinding, cyl 2+3 worse than 1+4 which backs up my compression test figures.
 Another 90 mins to add to the time taken, not sure what I am up to now. 

[red98]

bit more progress.ive re-ground all the valves on no1 cylinder and re-fitted them    cleaned up well with no pitting  ............just another 12 to go  ..........another 2 hours to add to the total

.........hi, red, you done good? ....you have 14hours left in the kitty!!.....glad you progressing anyway?....got mine in a million bits at mo!!..fkn wiring everywhere?.....dont ask?..... ......

[red98]

oh.....only 14 hours left  .....wont ask about your problem then.......................................................................................
...oh.hows the sparks on your bike 

[red98]

busy at work again now,so not much more done,managed to get out in the garage tonight for an hour and re-ground another 4 valves and re-fitted them  ....... getting boring now  ........ah well only another 8 to go
 going to try and do another 4 tomorrow and also measure the shims so i can order them at the same time as ordering the gasket,sounds like a good plan  [size=78%] [/size]

[CRH]

you didnt say what condition the valve guides where in?......someone on ebay sellin a assortment of shims?..worth a look? ..sorted mine!! chk post!

[red98]

hi clive......valve guides all good.no damage to valves nice and straight,all looks very clean in there and i think first time the heads been off.....grinding of the valves is boring but rewarding..i have a nice matt grey ring on both the valve seat and valve.no pitting what so ever 
 will take a look at your leccy post later.......well done matey

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[red98]

easy day at work today so straight out in the garage when i got in.......ground in the last 8 valves  .will re-fit them tomorrow    also measured the shims,inlet are ok but all 8 exhaust shims need to go up a size,3 of the old shims i can re-position so i only need 5 new ones....ordered these tonight along with the head gasket from WEMOTO .....£56 delivered...could have got it cheaper but ordering everything from one supplier has saved on postage
