    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1100E rebuild valves

  • Thread starter Thread starter gggGary

Also, if you are going to change ANY guides, you change them ALL! You would also be REQUIRED to do a valve job if you replace the guides. Just so you know. I say wire wheel all the valves, clean the head, lap the valves, replace the valve seals, reassemble the head, hone the cylinders, install new rings, & put them motor back together with new SUZUKI gaskets. I think you will be happy with the results. Let me know if I can be of help, Ray.
 
The valve stems wears more near the head than the butt, so I think it would be appropriate to open the valve near it's normal max lift point and then perform the wobble check there. On 2V engines the exhausts are allowed about .005" but intakes are .0035". I'm not sure about 16V engines, but again, I think that service limit is too sloppy.
 
yea i would definately lapp them, or have a real valve job done, and theres no way i would put it together with 35k on the rings your defeting the purpose of a rebuild
check the timing chain while your at it, its pennies compaired to another total rebuild
 
Yes the distance the valve sticks out for this check seems like an issue. One thing is the height will magnify the "wiggle amount" Just guessing here but the guides should wear worse at the cam end since that is where the side loads come from? I have the heads, valves, and seats cleaned up, amazing how much better it looks "clean". I used a small wire wheel in a dremel tool. One thing I did take away from the tests so far is fairly uniform wear, no one valve looks "bad" compared to others in similar locations greater wear on the outside cylinder exhaust valves was interesting to note. No answer as to the huge differences on valve wear limits between the 8 and 16 valve engine. The 16 valve manual does not describe or show the measurement method so that is a crap shoot all around. Hope y'all don't mind my "as I go" rambling here.
 
Bn awhile so a bit of an update on the top end "freshen" I had posted that my 82 crank is straight. During my exploration i could tell the top had been off before, well I saw these today.

This made me pretty happy!

So the bores honed up well. heads, pistons gasket surfaces are clean, now waiting for the gasket set to show.
