Changing valve springs - DONE!!
#22
Dan, I make up a thickish slurry paste comprised of molybdenum disulphide grease and engine oil, applying a 'pat' to the inside of the seal. I then wiggle/rotate the seal on to the guide with my finger while applying subtle pressure. Then I check the spring clip has stayed in place, manouvering it back if it has moved. Then I apply more 'thinned' paste to the valve stem and insert the valve while keeping one finger over the seal end of the guide. That way any excess paste is forced into the spaces between the end of the valve stem and the inside of the seal. I wipe the excess around the inside of the bucket's mating surface on the head.

Cheers,

Camel

P.S. So that's the trick. Get the wife to help in the garage! I don't know if that would work in my case. My wife has refused to come near the Busa since the tenth anniversary run to Pemberton!
