Te copio su respuesta a como hizo para asentar los asientos de las valvulas (uuf, que trabajo.....)
Dear Eduardo,
Excellent question and the answer to which took me quite a while to determine. It turned out to be a multi step process.
1. I took a standard valve seat grinding pilot and shortened it enough so that I could fit it through the cylinder liner and into a valve guide.
2. I shortened a standard valve seat grinding stone holder so that it would fit through the cylinder liner and onto the pilot.
3. After fitting the coarse stone to the holder I (and my son and friends) would reach down the cylinder liner and pushing the holder and grinding stone against the valve seat and turn it perhaps 1/8th of a turn, and repeat and repeat...
4. After getting a good even surface on the valve seat, I would repeat this process with a fine grit stone.
5. I then inserted a valve into the valve guide after smearing the valve face with coarse carborundum grinding paste, and from outside the cylinder head I would repeatedly pull and turn the valve stem.
6. I then repeated this process using the fine carborundum grinding paste.
It took us about six weeks to finish all eight valve seats and a couple of months for the tops of our knuckles to heal from the abrasions from the cylinder walls. Of course with a normal cylinder head and using a powered driver on the stone holder this job is literally a matter of minutes not weeks. I think that if the cylinder liners were not in place that there would be room for a flexible joint between the driver and the stone holder so that the job could be done mechanically but I was not going to risk removing the screwed in liners after they have been set for over a half of a century.
Perhaps these photos will make it clearer.
Best regards,
Robert
Shortened pilot in place
Shortened holder and stones - note that with two different valve sizes I needed four stones. I also scored the sides of the holder to give our fingers better grip
