Yeah, nothing more than a few hundred milliamps will be going through the new one. There shall be many relays.Scruffy Bodger wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 6:25 pm Is it worth sneaking a couple of relays inline or are the new switches OK quality wise?

Sure, he can come along and revive the car for me, that'd save a bunch of work!mercrocker wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 7:07 pm Keep expecting to see Steve Magnante's head pop into view....

The new one still even has the cadmium coating on the shaft.

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
Rear four cylinders all look like this. Pretty ugly.
Heads are equally crusty.
Cuban rebuild ensued (wire brush).
Ran out of time and energy. I've lost my valve spring compressor, need to make a piece to clamp over the spring so the G clamp holds it more evenly. One port cleaned. I'll do the rest, lap the valves in and call that done, I think.

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
Bought a new valve tool and pulled the valves out of this head. I'll clean it up another night when it's not so hot.

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
Thought about it and figured I could clean the valves up inside.
They're pretty ropey. They also recieved a do-or-die reface because they were so badly burned. Two left to do on this head.
Surprising it had compression at all to be honest.

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
Okay.
That's them all back in, done. Other head next; repeat.

Surprisingly, all eight valves lapped in nicely.That's them all back in, done. Other head next; repeat.

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
Next you will be telling us you lapped them by hand with one of those sucker sticks not a cordless drill....
