$200 454 Engine Rebuild: Lapping Damaged Valves, Cylinder Head Cleaning and Reassembly (Ep.20)

Рет қаралды 683,942

3 жыл бұрын

The valves from our cheap Craigslist engine are pretty rusted, and in the last episode we got them clean enough to see just how bad they are. This time, we will get the cylinder heads cleaned up and extensively lap the valves to their seats in an attempt to produce nice, clean sealing surfaces from our rust pitted ones. It is not the best approach, to be sure, but hopefully it is enough to get this engine roaring to life in a future episode.

I like the build, I really do. I understand the idea of doing it on a micro budget. What I don't get is being hard headed and not spending the $30ish for a new valve. An entire SET of 8 Gen IV intakes are only $70 from Summit. I like budget builds but I HATE even the idea of having to yank a head because I was so cheap I wouldn't spend money where it's smart. I once decided to reuse a set of valve springs of unknown age in a motor I wasn't exactly being cheap with. A .030 over 302 Ford sporting KB Hyper pistons, SBC 1.94/1.60 valve. Comp cams billet roller rockers... you get the idea. I ended up bending an intake valve for one weak spring.... 350 miles from home. Bus fare + time and fuel to return with a trailer + new valve and guide + gaskets + having to listen to my best friend for a week say "I told you so." + a new set of springs I should have purchased anyway.

@frotobaggins7169 3 жыл бұрын

@@ChuckThree i think the worst case scenario is that valve breaks off or the whole valve drops in to the cylinder, punches a hole through the piston, bending a rod along the way. then damaging everything that has a bearing. possibly pushing that rod out the side of the block. THAT is why everyone is suggesting caution. not that he might have to later replace a valve. the step in the valve is going to prevent it from seating correctly holding it open.

But as a project - a task that you want to carry out ‘in house’ without any machine shop input - you do what you can with what you have. I have done this many times to keep things simple and ‘in house’ - and if you are sensible on what you think is achievable you can do great things and be proud of it - and it will work!

When I reconditioned a junkyard Vtec head for my Accord I lapped the valves pretty much just like this. I used old faithful (ancient Milwaukee corded drill), a small length of old windshield washer hose, and a bit of broken screwdriver shaft to get things done. Worked perfectly I used the lapping compound a bit differently using techniques that I learned from my teacher years ago.

I was doing research and found that most pros dont recommend doing this with a drill from that end because you can cause wear on the valve guides and to only do this by hand. I do this with a drill on the valve side by taking a matching socket adapter to fit the suction cup and thats how i do it with a drill from the front. Never thought of the tube tho. Good stuff

You should have given that bad valve some sanding on the vertical drill before lapping it. ~400 grit to remove material and a 800 to finish. You would have grinded much less material out of the seat and obtained a smother finish. It would also not build that big step. Best thing would be a new seat and valve.

@Trains-With-Shane 3 жыл бұрын

Those seats and valve heads cleaned up pretty well. My only trepidation really is the difference in installed height of the valve tips especially in regards to that one you really had to grind down. I would have expected it to have been overcome by shimming the rest of the springs to match the height of the tallest valve but then you get into differing seat pressures, etc. You could also overcome it with different length pushrods but that would seem to be far more difficult, logistically. Do you expect that the resulting change in effective lift won't have significant effect on the engine over all? As this stuff was recorded over a year ago I would be interested to know, if you're that far ahead, what the impact was. if any. Because science! :) Very much enjoying the series.

funny,i just did this last fall on a set of sbc vortec heads(made my own lapping compound from grinding wheel dust and grease,lol)the valves and seats came out really nice and the heads work great.silliest thing i did was after swapping in a new hot cam and buttoning everything up,I realized i didn't torque down the timing chain sprocket.DARN IT...off came the water pump,off came the timing chain cover after loosening off the oil pan AGAIN....All this was done with the ENGINE IN THE CAR!!!
