Inlet valve stems were also worn so bought a new set but originals are not available so Robin supplied the nearest alternative and I had to have the width turned down a bit.if the engine is in situ it's a real pig to get the collets back in position. Had to glue them to a pair of wire strippers in the end.(13-03-2018, 02:21 PM)P J Quinn Wrote: I need the valve seats recut and new inserts fitted in my Austin big7 engine block.

Many thanks
I know of 2 Austin Eight blocks which are available. Could it be that they are the same? Surely someone knows, but I have never had a Big Seven or an Eight.
