Is it worth it? Also any real difference between crane and crower S/S valves and spring sets? Yes, i tried the search.

thanks

Typically a machine shop will do a 3 angle valve job when heads are rebuilt anyway. You really start to pay extra for a 5 or 7 angle job. When I cut valves, I cut 3 angle. Unless you want to build a badass motor, 3 angle is fine. You can hand lap valves to save money and you are guaranteed a correct seal but you'll have some nice blisters to show off to ladies from it. I have no knowledge of the Crane Vs. Crower valves.

ill post how a 5 angle feels like after i get my head together this friday, }(

3 angle should be the normal performance or lowest grade valve job...

performance minded should start 3 5 7 and work up to full radius

everyone has their custom amount of cuts so it can vary...

you should not pay more then 200$ for a full 3 way valve job... if theya re charging you that tim bring the head into spokane and ill get ya a better deal at the machine shop..

I may very well take you up on that, and maybe a few other motor fixes as well, since mine is dead!!!

To save this from hijacking (kinda)...

Is there a power tool to "hand lap" valves? While doing it I was thinking... why can't you just put a suction-cup dart in a power drill and go to town?

Yeah, if your captian steady hands... Otherwise I would not advise that crazy talk. :thumbsup

holy quad post, jackass! :P :thumbsup

I've seen guys take old valves and use grinding compound to clean the valve seat. They make kits you can attach to a drill I beleve with the grinding stones. You'd have to look around, maybe Summit or Jegs would have something.
