            4140 is great to machine. You just have no idea how to machine it.

                • You must not sell this. I'd say if you did your going to get a divorce for the hours at the shop and not at home.

                  Looks fantastic Al.

                        • Just spent the best part of two hours reading this build thread, I have to say, your build is in a class of its own.

                          I have read about builds on Hispano Suiza's and Cords and the like for the Pebble Beach concours d'elegance that arent up to this standard of work....... A true credit to you.

                              turns out i was a little confused, they just used the 2 boxes from the above valves as packing, called them today and got the low down, basically just reseated and honed the valves and the seats as they where new valves from the previous owner, may do some measuring to see if in fact they are larger.

                              • I have read a lot of bloeks on the UK use motorcycle valves in high revving headed 16v's.
