    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.

Im going to tearing my egine down to replace gaskets which are leaking figured while i was in there i was going to replace rings and rehone. what size hone do i need? also what ele should i do while im there? thanks
 
Smokes alittle when cold for about 30 secs but fig do it cuz theres about 30k on it
 
30K is nothing. The valve stem seals re old and hard, they tend to leak while it's parked. When you start it up there's smoke.

Test the compression.
 
I could be wrong,but i think these guys are trying to tell you that you probably don't need one. If i were you I'd get a compression tester and make sure. After checking your valve clearances of course. Hones are usually a spring loaded stone arrangment so the answer to your question would be "small" since a single hone can be used for a range of bore sizes.

There is no hone necessary to replace the valve seals.

Yeah,there's more than one kind of hone.If he's going down to the base gasket he should probably mic the bores to decide if a re-ring will do, correct?

Unless the 30,000 miles were put on in 1/4 mile segments, he shouldn't even need to re-hone the bores.

Some folks like to buy new rings.

Some folks like to run them another 100,000 miles first.

Das macht nichts.
 
I understand what you guys r saying completely and yea I have a base leak and a head seap and the valve seals was just brought up now so a new check on my list but I figured while I had the head off I would do rings hone and a new timing chain while i had it apart until then later have to rip it apart again later and do rings and t/chain and have to do gaskets again :-/ I dunno my first real build looking to save some time and busted knuckles oh BTW this is my goal
