Hey guys,

I am in the middle of changing a head gasket and I'm trying to dismantle as much of the head as I can before taking to a machine shop.

I've successfully removed the valves and plan on giving them a good cleaning, but is the order in which they came out important?

I kept the intake/exhaust valves separate from each other, but I figured that was good enough.

Thanks!

 

Each one is specific to the hole it came from. you will have to lap the valves or get a professional valve job or it won't make compression.

 

this

you have to get a valve job now. there is no possibly way to guess correctly and get all 8 on each side right

be very careful on who you have do your valve job. personally i would send it to english racing or golden eagle. have seen too many screwed up honda heads from machine shops who don't get it right

 

crap!

ok, thanks for the quick info!!
