GOT MY NEW VALVES AND MY NEW CLUTCH AT LAST ! YAY! hand ground all valves and reamed Guides to take new os valves....... But it was my clients sick cars thats been holding up progress on my GTV6 !.......made all gearbox gaskets and had the 5 oil seals in stock. Engine cleaned out and internally serviced and all dimensions and specs double checked, inc stock oil pump. Found the 2 screws securing the camshaft thrust-plate/retainer to be completely loose !!!! Turned out lucky to have a burnt valve ! Also found Big-end caps not tensioned correctly with quarter of them at half spec ! Mains were all acceptable tension but not perfect. Steam cleaned sump, timing cover, and rocker covers and engine bay. Next job: install heads and manifolds and carby and overhaul starter and alternator...................getting there! .........New engine mounts in new-old-stock (thanks Dad)
 
Hope you all had a great Queens Birthday long weekend !
