Spun bearings in my bottom end and lots of metal shavings got to the head..

I have the head off and have a new block to put it on but i need to know the best way to get all the shavings out while valves and springs are still in.

Ummmmm 150psi shot of air??

Why not just find a local machine shop and have them hot tank it and mabye a fresh resurface? Hell mabye even some new valve stem seals ha

Your never gonna get all of it out your self! remember this! and iv built many b series motors!, any lil amount of dirt/metal is gonna ruin the motor and make your motor loose compression. You really need to take the head to a machine shop for a hot tank at the least! i would highly recomend you to buy some new valve seals and have them do a 3 angle valve job, they usually offer this all for a head being turned in! like the old saying goes do it once and do it right! you dont wana put that used head on a fresh block cause sooner or later your valve seals go out and your burning oil and your gonna slap your self for not paying the extra $ to make sure the head was good. this usually cost around $250-$350 to freshen the head.

yes i know that wont get all the shavings out and is deffinatly NOT something i would personally do, It just seems like alot of noobs (not sayin eghatch is one) just dont know how to break out a phone book and look up a decent machine shop thats local. AND they are NOT expensive at all

piston press 7$
resurface 35$
micropolish 35$
ect.ect.

(machine shop good)

i got my gsr head resurfaced, hot tank, new seals, and assembled 85$ + 50$ seals at acura (i have a small hook up but still general prices).
