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 :rolleyes ......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
One, is never going to be enough.....
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. :\
One, is never going to be enough.....
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
One, is never going to be enough.....
oh.....only 14 hours left :\ .....wont ask about your problem then.......................................................................................
...oh.hows the sparks on your bike
One, is never going to be enough.....
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 8) [size=78%] [/size]
One, is never going to be enough.....
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!
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

i do like this sort of work......but at the back of my mind....i dont think it will solve the stutter :\ ....but it will make it run better/smoother  ....did find myself looking at another set of carbs last night :eek

hi clive....saw the ebay ad....works out cheaper for me to buy new  but thanks for the tip
One, is never going to be enough.....
forgot to mention.....another 90 mins to add to the total

like you say?..may not sort the stutter ...but?...good starting point for getting it right!!!!!!....at least all comp should be pretty equal?...think then mabe mixture screws set to what we said?...then give it a blast???????.....ps?12 1/2 to go!! :rollin
i wont be that disapointed if this dos`nt solve the stutter :eek ,the bikes been good to me in the ten years ive owned it  ,so it deserves a bit of tlc  ...but i will know that the engine is in tip top shape 8) ...first thing i shall do when its running is another compression test to see what improvement i`ve got ......will probs adjust the mixture while i`ve got the carbs off as much easier  ....i did notice that exhaust valves 3+4 were slightly richer so will be interesting to see what the settings are at the moment  .....also need to adjust the plug gap as too wide at moment
12 1/2 to go.......i might just do it....was that a guess or do you know something i dont ?
One, is never going to be enough.....
.......just going off how long we spent on that busa we did?...but we did do a full engine build?...fkn loved it?..specialy when it fired up and run like a sowing machine!!....think you will notice a hell of a diffrnce, when you do run it again?...there was only one cyl down on the busa and that was a exhaust valve?...but seeing it had done over a 100k we did a full overhaul?...its done 9k now and has never missed a beat!! so!!!!!!!!
yes a great feeling when it fires up....last engine i done was 2.o m10 bmw ,used three engines and a few new bits to make one good un and that started on the button....sweet as a nut....and a great big smile on my face
One, is never going to be enough.....
i still do think that we have the answer on that list?.....so hopefully this time you will have the answer you want? :rolleyes
