xoomer Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 ok just a few quick questions. on the fifth I am going to be taking my heads to the machine shop, do I have to take the valves of or can they for a minimal service fee, or can they stay on? what are the benefits of grinding your valves, thanks!

NoahDL88 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 If you plan on keeping the car long enough to do some head work,its worth it to get the valves ground. benifits are, longer life, better compression, better oil control- cause if you have them out, i'm sure you're putting on new valve seals.

subyrally Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 hell, while its apart, you might as well get a multi angle vavle job, even if you are only just rebuilding the engine, you might as well get some more power outta it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
