Valve Job

[ChefBear]

I'm having open heart surgery Monday Morning and it sure would be nice if you guys could get some stuff done and write it up with picts so I had decent reading next week... here's what the parts guy is recommending.

Good luck man, I hope everything goes well.

Holy cow Bear! Hope everything goes well. Is it just a valve replacement? Nothing more serious?

 

[Greg72]

Be sure to ask him about installing oversize valves, especially on the intake side.....

Might As Well get a little extra performance work done while the doc is in there.


As we all know, there's a lot that can also be accomplished by opening up the exhaust side of things, but I'm not suggesting you ask for anything extra down there.


Good Luck!

Good luck and a speedy recovery to ya.

I was just getting ready to update my build thread. It sure has been a real pain lately. It's almost ready for paint!!!!

I just installed new wiper blades. I'll make sure get some pics. Good luck!

Will they upgrade the pump to high pressure high volume?

Good Luck!!!

 

[Yobtaf]

wow good luck. but after seeing the crack, you might need a bigger valve.

Is that the actual valve your getting installed or is it just for mock-up

x2 + specs on the actual valve

 

[scottishdave]

Is that a stainless steel valve? They throwin in some titanium retainers too? If that heart is going to see some high BPM's you might want some stiffer springs too.

 

[brandoneh]

Yes... Speedy Recovery to ya! Hope all goes well!

Like I said let me know if your needing anything, I may have to come up there And work on the jimmy while your recovering, Talk about someone needing to update the threads

You really need to give that thing some tlc, first the crappy tires, then the crack under your fender and now a valve job? Sheesh

 

[Yukon Jack]

I hope you have a speedy recovery and are back to wrenchin' in no time!

 

[Engineered Vintage]

All the best to you!

 

[ChefBear]

Checked in early

Being home with conjested heart failure sucks! Without a good valve in place the whole system falls apart and breathing and clearing liquids becomes a big deal.

we might bump it up and do surgery today. I'll keep everybody posted thanks for the well wishes! It's been a long strange week.

 

[Yukon Jack]

Whether surgery is today or Monday I will ask my family to keep you in their thoughts and I will do the same!

 

[NV_K5]

Wow man, hope you're better soon. I had no idea wooden bowls took so much out of a person...

 

[bigbadchev84]

Just got an update from his wife, he is out of surgery and doing well. She has to wait another hour before they will let her in to see him.

 

[bp71k5]

Right on!
