my car decided to pop a comp 918 valve spring, sitting at a set of lights taking off and my car spluttered and farted and died, i just made it to some where i could pull over thank god!!
so got it towed home pulled the heads off and wadda you know. the bit** decided to kiss the piston, fast foward. pulled both heads off sent them away to be machine, valve grinded new springs and new stem seals ( it was blowing oil out the exhaust at WOT) and a new intake valve. i tought id post a picture and a few questions here.
how do i go about shaving the burrs off that (not sure if there is any) how do i clean the piston top and best way to get the block mating surface nice and clean and smooth? i was thinking a non scratch scotch bright pad?
i think the photo actually makes it look worse then it is..
thanks again guys. love how everybody is helpful unlike the other forums!
