Specs for Valve Job

[txhokie4life]

I've got a 3.4L engine I am working on and have the heads out to get a three angle valve

job but neither the Cylinder Head expert, nor I can find any specifications.

Anyone have a source for this information?

thanks,

Mike

Try John Edwards at Costa Mesa R&D (www.engine-machining.com). He fixed the crack in my cylinder head and did a valve job at the same time. Don't know that he did a three angle, but he does lots of mods on these engines so he would probably know the specs.

Bump on this thread. Likely sending my heads off to a machine shop for cleaning and valve job. Did anyone ever get the specs?

I'll second this. He did the work on my 3.6 to 3.8 build.

My local machine shop already did the cut. I'll get the specs from them when I pick up the heads later today or tomorrow.

I had 5 valve guides that were toast. They are pressing new ones in. I was getting ticking in #2 and it turns out is actually the valve guides so far out... not the lifters.

When I went to the shop yesterday we put a valve in and the amount of play in the guide was astonishing.

I couldn't believe what a professional job they are doing, they turn a lot of heads around. I'll post some pics.

Interesting. None of mine showed any wear at all.

Here are some pics. I posted the specs in the other thread.

Cleaned and gently bead blasted. New seals. Vacuum tested, valves cleaned and 3 way cut, 5 guides replaced. Lightly sanded mating surfaces.
