just about to get round to doing this. What temperature do they heat the head to when doing the welding? Is there any issue with keeping the valves etc assembled in the head during the process or is this a no no? Only real issue i can think of is excessive heat or perhaps preventing a good clean down of debris after skimming etc

Depending on how much has to come off you really need to take the valves out as the are very close the head face as it is. Have a look for yourself, use a steel rule and place it on edge across the chamber across the valves ande see how close the valves are On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

that's the head and block all stripped down apart from valves. Never done any head work before, so will need to go out and buy a valve spring compressor. Are they universal and all capable of removing bike valve springs or do i need something special? Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Minor update. Got round to taking out the valves using a g clamp and cut out bit of brass. Worked a treat! Using a magnet to grab the collets equally so! NOt sure how easy refitting is going to be however...

Yeh you will need to remove them for welding. I replaced them as they were a pig to get off without damaging them. I was a bit shocked how much they cost (£40 a set i think) so kind of wished id been more careful. I think if you made up the right tool you could get them off and try and reuse.
