I have a shoebox with 8 holes punched in it to keep the rods in the correct order, and as I pulled out the valves, I was putting the valve, keepers, spring retainer, spring, and the heavy washer all in a plastic bag marked 1 through 8 to keep things in order.
Ill wire wheel everything up tomorrow, and see what it looks like. I know one of the valves I pulled had all sorts of rust and "stuff" piled on top of it, most likely from water getting in the exhaust stack.
I have a set of vernier calipers and a micrometer, but whats a ball micrometer? Im guessing it has a ball at the end instead of a flat surface?
From the replies that I see here, its looking like this is getting to be a more expensive proposition than I had hoped for... I do want to do this right, but I was hoping to do as much as I could on my own before getting too expensive.
So since I have two BNs, how do I tell which engine is the one in the best shape? Or is that really like asking someone in Florida to tell me the weather here in NY?
