 Alright guys, I actually took one head apart fully, so I can give it to the machine shop. And so I go through this one more smoothly for the sake of the video. Now some heads you don't need to take the valves out, but in this case what I've noticed is, I don't know if you're going to see it, but the intake valves and this head are very, very close to the edge or the surface of the head. Obviously, we don't want to deck the valves. Make sure you've got a clean area, everything needs to go back to the same spot, I'm talking about each valve, okay, alright, I'm going to talk through it, just watch me do it, trying to trap these off today, anyways, let's go, wait, same kind of order, taking off these bolts to get the rocker assembly off, you don't want to be just taking bolts off, just like this, cylinder heads, there's a process, let's say number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and when you put them on it's like, well, when you put them on it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and then reverse, so 8, 7, 6, and so on, 5, just another cross pattern. Now it's time to compress the springs, so we can take the valve keepers out and then remove the valves. So I'm running out of room, but this is super, super important, I've got to make a spot for just the valves, they're going to sit there until they get installed, a clean spot right there. So you can see that these are the exhaust valves, and this is the intake side, this is the front of the head, or the engine, and that's the back. So I'm going to start with the exhaust in this case, and I'm just going to go put them in order, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, alright, using this kind of tool, this is a valve spring compression, compressing thing tool, this is pretty much for, I guess almost all the heads out there, alright, so you do have a few different fitments for the top of the valve, choose wisely, this end will go here, and this pointy head will go on the surface of the valve. I guess I should actually, well, okay, I'm just going to do it in reverse, it'd be nice to have this turning thing, and this, actually I'm going to switch these two, actually what am I doing, I can just do this, the switch. So top of the valve, keep a magnet handy, I'm going to have to catch those keepers, 1, and that's 2, then you can slowly undo this, remove the tool, remove the spring, and then push on the valve, and that's your exhaust valve, now check this out, you want to be careful with this area here, this actually moves up and down on the valve stand seal, so if you scratch this, that's going to leak, and, or when these are old, at startup after your car sits for a while, that's when your car smokes for the first very, you know, few seconds or so, when these are bad, or this is bad, but check this out, check this out, okay, look at this, hopefully you're going to see these little dots kind of eaten away from the heat, I know this camera is not good at close-ups, but yeah, so these, these are, I mean they're not bad, you could just put them back and get, you know, thousands and thousands of miles from it, but got a dyke it, so might as well, well, I am, you know, removing these anyways, and I will let these, alright, so we took one out, now another exhaust valve, alright, and just keep going, alright guys, that's it for this one, now what's left is the valve stems, I'm not going to worry about them, I'm done for today, so these, I'm going to mark, I can't see left or right on these heads, so I'm going to just mark it, mark L, so this is the passenger side, which is the right one, I know it's on the left, but you know, as you look, as you sit inside, that's your left, that's your right, so this will get an R, that one will get an L, so these are going to the, to the machine shop as they are for decking and checking for leaks, once they get back, I'm going to, first thing we will do is, we're going to lap the valves, I do have a video on it, I'm going to try and put it up there, when I was doing my 06 STI, same process, everything on, everything else looks good, all these guys here, the camshafts, these guys, everything, the surfaces look very good, so we should gain a little bit of power and maybe smoothness by redoing the valves, and also I've been thinking, I actually spoke with the body of mine that has done a ton of Subarus, to go with the same cylinder head gasket, the single layer one, these are now not graphite any longer, I think Subaru got done with those in 99 or 2000, something like that, not that these don't have an issue, but if I were to put the MLS, the multi-layer gaskets on this, we're going to lose compression and power, so it's a big no-no for this race car, so we're going to go with the single layer, dealer head gasket, valve cover gasket, intake manifold gasket, exhaust gasket and all that stuff, next one I'll show you how to check the level of the block with a straight edge, we're also going to clean up these guys too, see you soon!
