 Guys it's time. The heads are here Here's one head and there's the other So machine shop all they did was they resurfaced this surface As you can see already got to cleaning it. They didn't clean it As you can kind of tell they didn't check for leaks or Magniflux is I think what you call it Because this engine was never overheated and these rarely crack. I paid 120 bucks for both They also took off the valve seals. How nice. So I already cleaned this surface with this This is where the exhaust manifold goes Then here already clean this with the same pad or scratch pad or whatever this So that's ready to go then sprayed brake cleaner inside each valve hole Right here Because they need to be super clean inside now I did some heads on my 06 STI Way back and As I was cleaning it because the machine shop They clean them and I still even if they did I would still clean the hell out of it if Clean it out from metal shavings Super important. Okay. I Mean get yourself brake cleaner a lot of cans. So Where's my flashlight? So inspect each and every hole inside where the valves go Make sure there's no metal shavings Okay, and then you're ready to go All right guys got this set up going now the head is Obviously, you know the front of it is facing me the intake Valves are gonna be on top as I have them situated on the table exhaust valves on the bottom Now I still could clean up the insides the inside runners For the intake and exhaust kind of maybe even polish them or You know clean them up a bit here and there but do not too bad. I'm gonna worry about it too much So making sure everything is nice and clean inside the The valve holes, whatever. I'm sure there's a name for it Let me check again. Oh Yeah, now they're perfect All right using WD-40 PP blaster or just oil oil cheapest okay I'm gonna start with the Intake valve here what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna apply oil Come on now. I'm gonna apply oil there you Right over here and insert Insert the first Intake valve now See how it just drops nicely Make sure it does that okay if there's something Like you're you feel like it maybe in the way or something don't push it don't force it this Should be should go in on its own if it it feels like There's something in there take it out slowly Clean it out again and try again. All right, so we're good on that so now using this Tool using this tool That's why I cleaned up the faces of the valves so we could use this suction Here that's got to be clean and dry. So this actually sticks to the valve Okay, now now the intake valves. I'm only gonna clean up With which one was the okay, so this one is coarse if you can see that and this one will be Should be fine grinding compound. I don't know if it says it Doesn't say it. Anyways, I know for a fact that this is fine. So you're gonna use fine and then I'm sorry. Excuse me. I'm gonna only use fine on the intakes and Of course on the Exhaust valves and then fine. All right now These can unstick or unsuck At any moment. So make sure you're doing this over over your table or something. So it doesn't fall on the floor. I'm gonna apply this grinding compound on the seat of the valve Okay Play a little bit more oil You hear that see what I mean this and this too big. Yeah This is always fun lifting up turning left and right lifting up and Kind of changing Twisting it more to one side either side pick a side pick right side for example And keep going left and right Here how the sound changes That's why you can't do it in one spot That's why you lift it also to get some of that compound in there again But this should be fine like I said these did not leak. I'm just kind of refreshing them Okay, take it out slowly And I wipe this off and there we go So compared to one I didn't do yet See what it looks like you see that so this one goes back wipe this off Pretty much looks the same on the head as on the valve All right guys, so I'm gonna quickly do this and get back to you When I'm done when I'm ready to do the actually never mind. Let's do the exhaust one first or next Make sure this is clean now The course No, this is new nice. I just found another Another fine one. Is this fine doesn't say okay, so this one says I Should read the instructions more often this one says it's got four grid sizes in one application 220 180 150 and 120 so it starts as a course Which is 120 then just goes up to 220. So okay, I'm not gonna be using this one So I'm gonna do this again The same valve on the fine grid Fine grid and then I Continue with the course on the exhaust. Yeah, it actually feels much different more smooth from the start Maybe you can tell the difference in sound All right, so this basically looks Exactly the same Just more smooth. All right. So exhaust before course Yeah, this sucks Now see how quiet it got By lifting it up you get more of the compound on the seat Okay, I'm actually gonna See where we're at All right, I don't know if you're gonna see that now. You see how it's cleaned up already So I got some black marks here We need to get rid of but this would probably hold pressure now So I'm gonna do this course one more time. All right, this one needs a bit more So one more pass gonna get at some kind of a system Going help me, please It's gonna take all day. You just need to be perfect now. Don't you huh? I'm gonna glue this to the valve. We're getting rid of these These are pittings everywhere You probably don't see this this camera sucks at close-ups, but The more shine the better so I guess it's gonna take a bit more than just two passes Maybe I'm on the I'm gonna be on the fourth one now This actually looks much better I'm gonna get you in here. You seeing this guys. So this shiny area compared to This you could probably leave it at that Yeah, I guess let's do one more. All right. I'm gonna call on this one There's still a little bit more pitting in this area But it's much smoother now But this side is looking Almost perfect. Okay now Fine, I mean fine grit You know, I am pressing on this a little bit as I spin So those are until the sound changes It's gonna get a little bit more quiet like now Still gonna try and get some in there by lifting it. It's nice and sticky now. All right, not too bad. Not too bad Ready valve? Not ready. Perfecto. All right guys I'm gonna get some music going and finish all this. I got six plus eight Is that six plus? To do guys All left Took a while Now next step would be to clean both heads Everything brake cleaner don't be shy Because this is the last time you're gonna use brake cleaner and basically all of it. Okay Now it's time to install the valve seals Okay, so intake side up exhaust side down gray seals are for intake Green are for exhaust. Now what I do I Take a 12-point 10 mil socket why 12 point because it's more round. Make sure it's clean now. Okay Inside outside everywhere. This is the very first one. I'm doing Make sure it's straight Make sure hammer is also clean Everything needs to be clean You're gonna be cleaning it again As you can see, this is a clean area over here. Okay, make sure it's straight on and just tap it in Close the intake. Let's do exhaust make sure it's straight Did you hear that sound? How it changed? That's when you know you're all the way in light taps guys Let's do one more Intake. Can you see that? Let me get you in a little closer. This is as close as you're gonna get. That's it once the sound changes Kind of tap around The socket the sound should be the same all around. Okay I'm gonna do all these Clean the next head install the seals and then it's gonna be installing back to installing valves
