My Dad who was an old time car mechanic always taught me to give the lapper tool a half or a quarter turn by lifting off the valve seat to gain an even valve seat lap.<br>Your video sure takes me back to the days in the garage with my Dad. Thanks.

Wow, haven't seen one of those in a really long time! My uncle used one all the time. They do work, but the trick it use valve grinding compound between the head and the valve and be very patient. 1 valve can take 15-20 minutes to get just right, and only use the weight of the grinder without any pressure.

Tip, when you put the bearings in. I'd have put little grease inside the bearing valley and put them in before assembly. The grease would have held em in place.

I like it, can’t beat the old ways sometimes. Thanks for the video youngster, enjoyed watching the process.

I can't help thinking that there a lot of youngsters out there saying "So- - That's what that is but what is a valve?? Good Job for sure and pure entertainment~!!

Clever gearing design, turning single-direction rotary movement into back-and-forth!

Didn't know that tool existed. Its clear to see why the hand tool is better. Neat restoration though.

Nice work sir! I agree, the paint finish was quite nice.
