Cheers! Yes, the Valve Grinder is a classic but they still do a good job today eh? Loads of them got scrapped at local garages years ago, think I have about 4 in total!

Haha nice! Aye we had a bit of trouble finding a new grinding wheel for it, in the end got one shipped in from the States.

They're good solid machines, parts can be a problem but it's worth the hassle for sure. Black and Decker stuff was definitely well made back then!

 

I've just noticed the pics aren't showing, it seems I've exceeded my bandwith for the month, Hopefully this will sort itself out come next month, I obviously take too many pics of each job!

Thanks Stu, hopefully it'll all be okay come the beginning of the month, I think I might have to spread some of my photos out over 2 or 3 domains to get round this happening in the future but if I have any trouble at all I'll give you a shout, much appreciated.

Oh yes! :D

 

 

As far as I'm aware, B&D used to make some of the best pro tools going, but then Dewalt bought them and turned them into a DIY name so they could lead the market for pro tools!

I've got a tool for fitting these but you can use a socket and extension to drive them onto the valve guides as long as you're careful not to damage the seals -

Moving onto the oil pump, the presure relief valve screw was fine on this one and hadn't unscrewed -
