Finally got to my valve problem. I had a friend come over and grind my valves and he gave me 2 intake valves that he had. He found that I had 4 exhaust valves that had a groove near the valve spring holding keys, so he gave me 4 exhaust valves that he had already ground down for me. He then proceeded to grind the valve seats in the engine and it looked pretty slick. It did not take too much time at all. We then lapped the valves in each spot. Now the problem I have is with a hydraulic lifter body that is stuck in a cam follower. See picture. I have sprayed it with WD-40 and another penetrating oil. I can only grab about 1/8 inch with my pliers. I need to pick up a set of vise grips. Do you have any suggestions? Has any one seen this before?
