I carried on with finishing off the port work.
Done the exhaust ports. Not a great deal to do with them again most of the work was in the bowl area. I didn’t want to take much out of the exhaust ports as the wall thickness in some areas seems quite thin. The water jacket runs right through the centre devider as well.
that’s pretty much it for porting
on to the valves, got to love how ford stamps everything
spent a little while cleaning them all up
and on to lapping them all in. I’ve allways done these by hand previously and it takes forever.
I wasn’t relishing the idea this time so I decided to cheat with a battery drill, a small piece of silicone pipe and a bolt
It made really lite work of the seats, definitely will be using this little cheat method again
there we go all the valves lapped in
next weekend I’m going to try another little cheat as all the valve clearances will need doing and I’m far to tight to go out and buy 16 new buckets. Could be interesting as it involves a circular saw and a workmate ��
