Valve work.

After I had the cylinder head resurfaced at a local shop, it was time to refit the valves. Replaced the exhaust valves with new sodium filled ones from the 944 turbo.

Lapped all of them to refresh the seats, and checked the contact area with prussian blue.

Leaky old valve stem seals needed replacing.Minimal effort was required to push them onto the valve guide.

A large c-clamp was needed to compress the two valve springs. The overhead style compressor could not hook under the internal spring.

I like the tipple ribbed keepers, they look pretty effective.
