You had me worried then with talk of 're-engineering' :o These two have come out quite easily...which is more than I can say for some the fasteners so far! Can't budge the exhaust stub screws !

How the hell did you get those out without grabbing hold of the nipple ? Or have you flattened the nipple ?
I have made so many special tools to get those out.

I think my nipples are ok! 😬
Although I did grab hold of them with a pair of long nose pliers! I didn't put too much pressure on them..gave them a waggle and out they popped!
Crispy:
Finished my seat off today with the logo and strap, pleased with how that turned out and also butchered a spare socket to make a valve removal tool which worked really well. I know it's not a big deal but it was very satisfying to get them all out with it! ::)
Crispy:
Got another question...having removed the valves, there are only 4 valve stem seals ..on the inlet valves ..although the exploded parts diagram shows them on both inlet and exhaust.. Is this because it's an earlyish motor?
Nurse Julie:
Yes, the early ones don't have exhaust valve seals.

Those are in perfect shape, more evidence that that motor has never been apart before ;) To clean the jets, soak in thinners for a couple of days and dig with a thin bit of wire (from a wire brush) before blowing out with a airline.
