Ruby ARQ Rejuvenation

[Geoff Halstead]

First of the many, and I may have duplicated some.

Missed these with the NS rear inner arch repair post some time ago.






Grinding Tappets
The valve stems had made a perfectly round indentation in them that would make it nigh on impossible to set the gaps.
Something had to be done, and not having either a surface grinder or a working toolpost grinder (I need to sort it out) I came up with the perfect Heath Robinson method.

I used my high speed drilling machine and Dremel type grinding wheel.


After finishing on the drilling machine I finished off with a few rubs on the fine diamond abrasive.


Ready to assemble to see if valve stems making even contact.


Yes they do, and Heath Robinson winning the day once again.





Geoff - Bl@@dy migraine now!

Update.
I replaced that suds cooler pipe magnet with a magnetic DTI holder that is much stronger.

 





Mounted on the Workbench bolted to those two lengths of square tube.




Enough light I hope for grinding.


Geoff - That's it for a while, but if I find more, I will post,
