Turning one of the valves. The stems are 0.125 in diameter and the valve face is 0.312.
I always make the stems longer than what I think I will need and some times just long enough.
All four done and they even measure good and where I wanted them.
Made four valve cages next and pressed and loc-tited int othe heads.
This is a test plate I made for lapping the valves.
Shop air is applied through the back disconnect for testing.
When I can't hear any air leaks at the vice anymore then I dunk the whole thing in a pail of water for a final test.
Very easy to see where more work is needed.
Thanks for looking
