    I strangely enjoyed the valve grinding closeups. Watching the oil flow, listening to the sound of the wheel was honestly relaxing.
    Your shop is very nice, I hope these videos raise attention, the kind that lines Your pockets. That degree of tooling and the maintance of them ain´t growing on trees and good work deserves good pay.
    I fix bicycles as a hobby and earned 30$ basically for changing two tires and one tube- sounds simple, right? Well, no.
    I had to clean, inspect and grease the bearings, inspect the surfaces where the tire sits and then put it all together and make the tires sit and run true.
    It was 45mins of work but the customer appreciated the effort and I have another one under the belt that will come back.
    I was a junkie not so long ago and had to train my brain to naturally spill out dopamine and a satisfied customer does just that. Worth it.

    The valve grinding brought up a memory from my senior year shop class, they brought a new class with engine repair. We got small engines that were donated and we took them apart, cleaned and refinished what we could and tried to get them running. My partner and I had an exhaust valve that was quite burnt on the seat, all we could do is lap them with grinding compound. I and my partner grinded that valve by hand for two days, in that class, so about 1:30 minutes. Am proud to say our engine did bust off first though. That was a fun class.

      I had an Austin A Series 1000 with similar issues. I spun the valve in a power drill and filed it clean. The seat had some pitting but cleaned up with lapping paste. A new valve and seat were the correct fix but I was extremely broke. It ran for 10,000 miles with no problems until rust finally scrapped the car.

    I worked on Minneapolis Molines maybe 45 - 47 years ago.
    Alot of times the heads were cracked.
    We had them furnace welded back in the day.
    Then we would install new guides and seats.
    But the cracks were leaking water.
    Nice repair on the valve guide boss.

    Dad always said if it’s worth doing it’s worth doing right, he taught my brothers and me this, we taught our children this, and our children are teaching their children this. We had a used Corvette sales only, body shop, parts, and service store, there were plenty of times when people would bring us cars that they took somewhere else because the other shop did a subpar job. We only did it right or we didn’t do it, if the customer couldn’t afford our prices and it was a simple job we would tell the customer how to do it themselves so they could save the money. Those people became lifelong customers.

" many crack from face into injector hole also . if not into the injector seat or "water" , we ran them , just gove owner proper warning and choice ; repair , replace , or run it . did work for James MacFadden sharon spring NY , near every such head , all colors , same cracks

      In hindsight, it looks like a really bad design. When diesel cars went from pre-chamber to direct injection, cracked cylinder heads became a thing of the past, where before it was something you'd have to expect, certainly on turbo diesels.

    It was really interesting that you commented on the old way of doing the valves and seats. I worked as an automotive machinist back in the early1980's and the machines we thought were really good seem really poor compared to what your using. We worked hard and I'd I as good as we possibly could, but it not the precise product that your getting. And I'm surprised at just how much I have forgotten. I spent the rest of my career working on turbine engines.

    Watching the new valves get cleaned up actually showed why it's a good idea to grind them even though they're brand new. If they'd been perfect from the factory they would have ground the marker off evenly. But a few of them didn't get cleanly off evenly until a few passes

    I love your attention to details! I'd love to see a video featuring the Serdi machine you are doing the machining on. Show & tell about the floating air bed & how this helps the head to align with the cutting tool. Also explain Serdis Vacuum valve seat testing & "bar" vacuum gauge & minimum reading to pass (example: -0.6 bar is minimum. -0.7 bar is good & needs no further machine work or lapping, etc.)
    I used to use a Serdi vacuum valve seat tester & occasionally lap valves & retest. Finally convinced bosses/engineers to buy one for our building. I built a custom, pivoting, portable stand out of an HF welding cart. Got a friend to cut the Serdi logo on red vinyl & put the logo all over the cart.
    We used it in test cells to gauge engine health in our diagnostics without complete disassembly. Thanks! Paul

    Facing valves and cutting seats was one of my favorite jobs when I was learning my trade. The company had several blocks of vehicles with the same engines and as they were petrol/gas engines doing stop start city work the valves did not last that long, so we had a lot of head work. If time was tight due to workload, we would use brand new valves for several heads to save time and it was my job to go back and clean and measure the old ones and face the ones that were ok to use again. We did not fit new valve seat inserts that was done at an outside shop, but we did cut the new seats in them with the old stone synchro cutter set up. Not as fancy as your machine but it worked well enough. We had 6 or so change over heads for those couple of groups of engines with one or two being done every day. I was taught to cut to interference angles as I was told it was better for clearing carbon deposits from the face with the low-grade fuel we were using. As we moved into more diesel vehicles our valve work slowed down. Pity because I liked it.

      Was it automotive machining or just a machine shop? You might be thinking of Josh Topper over at Topper Machine.

    50:36 that's such a good idea that i'm genuinely thinking of copying that with some of the more used and abused engines in my brother's farm fleet.

    I like seeing you use a vacuum to clean the chips instead of the air gun.

    Not trying to be a negative Nelly, but for me, I'm not crazy about the musicac during the fast-forward areas. Other than that small whiney, I do enjoy the cleaning guy.

    Cleaning up the exhaust ports on the heads were spot on. That's all I would have wanted removed. As I can remember the owner wanted to rebuild his tractor as factory new. Kind of a "Parade Princess".
