Valve stems

Postby drftnmaz » Tue Oct 31, 2006 11:41 am

i'm just rebuilding my 5k and was about to chuck the head on the milling machine for abit of porting and was wondering if i can press you the valve stems (think thats what there called) to make things alittle easier.

do they press straight out and then do i use locktite or similiar when putting them back in??
