Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
All valves pulled and only one of the sixteen have any problems. I'm guessing manufacturing issues because it's a really strange failure.
Started to clean the springs and fittings up but soaking my fingers in gasoline started to get really really old after the second set so I'm thinking about getting an ultrasound bath...

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Someone made a good suggestion re: cleaning of valve guides. Get a gun cleaning set.
I may stop at the sports store tonight and take a look at what they have.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Yeah, it's not bad but I want a bit of pop, so color it is. It'll be a lot less subtle once it's done.

I didn't realise it was life size in the first pic! I thought it was a small sketch on a beam or something.
