Then i can get it washed out and valves back in



Took the head down workshop to finish off the burring with the dremel, got it all done and nice clearance on each without taking too much away and thinning out the head. Heres some pics:















Next on the lost is a bloody good clean to get all that swarf out, theres loads of it! Then valves back in with the new special stem seals to suit the piper double valve springs!

glad that bits finally out of the way. It was depressing me spending time grinding and getting no where fast lol. Now it's done, it shouldn't be long till it's rebuilt now.
