500 Valve Spring Seats

(1/2) > >>

philward:
Just looking through CMSL 500 parts schematics in prep for fitting head (checking to make sure I fit all the right o'rings/etc) and noticed that there is an inner & outer spring seat (12 & 13 in the attached parts list).
I only took out and refitted 1 seat per valve (all the same size) - is this right? If there is an inner & outer, does the one size I've missed normally/likely to stick to the head (oil holding it to head)

Hope I don't have to take the valves out of the head again to check as I struggled with my rather large valve spring compressor!

Nurse Julie:
They usually stick to the head, or the valve spring and then fall on the floor 🤣 🤣 🤣. But yes, there are 2 Phil. They are to stop the spring cutting into the valve guides.

For peace of mind I'll have to take the valves out tomorrow! B******s! Thanks Julie

Had to go and check (much to the annoyance of Gillian!) - it was the inner spring seats I took out and replaced when re-assembling, the outer spring seats were still stuck to the head on the first 4 I've checked thank goodness!
