Hi all,
I've just had a flat head worked on. There was a fair bit of rust under the head and you can clearly see one of the valves had been cut quite deep into the block (earlier repair of major damage?). I'm posting before and after pictures. Not sure how I feel about the work done. One of the seats is massive in comparison to the others and has a trough around it. Not sure if it has enough material to stop it falling out but he's supposed to know what he's doing. I guess the machinist has tried to get all the valve seats back up to the same level and the dirty looking repair was a necessary evil. Would appreciate the feedback of the experienced guys on here please...
Thanks!
