How easy to do are stem seals?

There's a guide in the MK2 maintenance section  :smiley:

here

says i need patience. Something i lack of very much!! :grin: :grin:
also some tools which i dont have.

i think gettin the skimmed and doing valve stem seals by a professional is the wiser choice. just need to find an engeneering house near southampton/bournemouth that would do it for around £50.




also, for porting, are these any good?

They look too good to be true for that price, and they might turn out to be too. But you don't know till you try, so I'll watch this space  :smiley:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Can get these pretty cheap from your local tool shop, not worth the effort of shipping from the US!

Yeah, a dremel type would do, but if you can get some tungsten carbide tip bits for it like the ones you showed earlier, that would be the nuts, because you would use tungsten tips to port the shape, then the stone tips to smooth. Then use fibre tips with cutting compound to polish.

Something like these perhaps http://www.northerntooluk.com/products.asp?partno=1806763E or http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/crt40-40pce-rotary-tool-kit/path/17-mini-multi-purpose-power-tools
