jalesi2001 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Nice one Moe!! I have seen the third one before, but the one I saw was a bit dodgy looking, knowing my luck i would drop a collet or the valve through into the cylinder!!!! i still have my old kit for doing them on the CVH Ford engines.......!!!Slosei, if you are gonna attempt it without taking the head off, make sure the piston is at TDC on the cylinder you are doing!!! Or you may drop the valve into the cylinder, then its head off anyway!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 TBH its better to take the head off and do the job, then you can fit a spoon headgasket which will bump up the compression a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMB6 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 unfortunately not genuine honda parts, as i cant afford them, just from local motor factorsIve no idea how much a spoon hg would cost, probably a fortune lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
