Right, so what about these?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-pieces-Tungsten-Carbide-Rotary-Burr-SET-1-8-shank_W0QQitemZ180297432099QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item180297432099&_trkparms=72%3A1301|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

doesnt state what it cuts but they look like the ones that cut metals including steel and aluminium.
Should i buy these? let me know cos if yes, then i'l buy them now as they take about a week to arrive.

They will do! But why don't you go to Machine Mart on the Bournemouth Road in Parkstone? They will be able to help you choose exactly what you need.
Its very close to the church with the green roof, next to the pub if I recall.

Well, you could risk a chance on them, there's a uk ebayer here oh, some cheaper ones too here


Bit expensive, but then tungsten tips usually are, also they have a 3mm shank, which is the same collet size as the tool you want to get from Machine Mart.

I might get the same one on Sunday, (Clarke rotary tool) as Machine Mart sent me a Tax Free Sales Day letter, so ask your local Machine Mart if their doing a tax free promo any time soon.

can someone link me to a suitable valve spring compressor on ebay so i can buy it and give it a go myself? dont think i'l be able to borrow one anymore :undecided:
from the guide and people on here it sounds pretty straight foward.
What do i need to do the stem seals?
Valve spring compressor
new valve stem seals
...?

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

Halfords will do a spring compressor, but you will need a long reach one as the valve stems are recessed into the head. There is a very good car shop too in the upper Parkstone main road. (The road that goes from sea view to top of Alder road. Can't remember the name.) The shop name is specialist motor components, or SMC. Knowledeable people in there too. Or GSF may also do one.
