Re: Danjets 3AJ project
clutch basket has a bit of wear, wondering should i touch it up with the file to get rid of the ridges

I would file those little grooves smooth if i where you Dan,that can only cause you problems.
Its great reading these builds again.

Re: Danjets 3AJ project
got stuck into the head, first problem was this

sprayed wd40 penetrate on it everyday for a week, hit it with heat no go
so i butchered it with the die grinder tried to thin the walls and punch it inwards still held firm

right time for plan B welded a bolt into the shredded remains and made a puller

got ya

pulled the valves for inspection

inlet look ok

exhaust are a bit ruff

Re: Danjets 3AJ project
That amount of wear is of no consequence. At most give it a little touch-up with emmery paper to smooth it up.clutch basket has a bit of wear, wondering should i touch it up with the file to get rid of the ridges
