Good car! No gulp. Enjoy! Enjoy the superior engineering in the absence of any sort of quality craftsmanship.71whitewesty wrote: ↑Wed Mar 15, 2017 6:53 amAmskeptic wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2017 9:08 amErrrr, Vanagon or Eurovan?71whitewesty wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2017 7:27 ambeen driving a "gulp" 91 dark blue insanely clean Westy.

I disagree.
It's upsetting how many "professional" engine builders skip steps like this. (100% of the builders I spoke to on my trip said I was wasting time with steps like these……)
Aaaaauuuuugh, new anxiety attack! It is driving me mad. I do not like it. It is a sharp exposed edge that could become a localized hot spot that over-expands the aluminum in the vicinity and relaxes the press fit. I dunno.airkooledchris wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:46 am
As for this engine, what are you going to do about the exhaust valve seat edge sticking into the combustion chamber on that head? (if anything)
.003" will be fine. You'll have plenty of pressure if the pump cover is dressed too. You'll get a full lifetime from that motor even at .003" although .002" would have been better. I hope you used plasti-gauge to figure that out - it is really the only way.around .003" Phooey, too late:

Imagine that it was not pressed in all the way. Then the outer edge of the seat would be sticking out a little from the surrounding combustion chamber aluminum.
