Unhappy Cutting valve seats

Many thanks for the caution. I will try to coax one of my experienced neighbors aboard for this task. I can well imagine how the carbide blade treatment can go sidways pretty quickly.

Red face Exhaust riser

I think the corrosion is both external and internal, due to leaking heat exchanger and salt air via exhaust section.

Red face #4 sticky valves, again.

OK, I know, I've been here before; some people never learn. Last couple years I was busy remodeling, then two grandsons born 2K mi. & 6K mi. away. So my 40 y.o. A4 reminds me about the true cost of...

Red face ...gives new meaning to 'boat porn.'

Just saying. That said, I'd buy one to support the effort...and remind me of the importance of corrosion control and proper winter care.

Red face Valve replacement, etc.

Well, after varied attempts to loosen and release the #4 exhaust valve from below/side, I gave up...cleared out space (alternator, coil, manifold, heat exchanger, etc.) and pulled the head. Still...

Valve seating and gas tank Q's

As far as the exhaust valve seat went, I glued the suction cup from a lapping tool to a 1/4" shaft and used a 90 degree angle chuck with my variable speed drill for the lapping. I gather the next...

"hot" temp reading

From the looks of things, the engine's been FWC for a long time, and there's little or no inside corrosion that I could see. I replaced the manifold and new elbow fittings, along with checking flow...
