Cylinder head removed

(1/3) > >>

Yurkie:
I am working towards doing a full rebuild and repainting of my engine. Currently the cylinder head is off and I am looking for some direction and advice please.

I assume I need to fully remove the valve stems from the guides, and if so how do I do this? I assume this is required to fully inspect the condition of them?

Then what is my best method to clean, decoke, and then also the preparation of the exterior surface for painting?

Yurkie:
These are the images to go with my post which I was unable to upload last night from my iPhone/

You need a valve spring compressor .to get them out there's lots of videos on YouTube showing how to do it .if you type in hackaweek cb750 .there's a guy doing step by step videos on restoring one there really good .

Bryanj:
If the top of the valve stem is "Mushroomed" through use you will need to carefully grind off the mushroom to get the valve out and if that is the case I would replace the valves

Yurkie:
@Bryanj ok that makes sense. Can I just push the valve stem out though the guide as it doesn't appear to just want to fall out as I was expecting?
