Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 This is where they allways wear,The area in red is where we will fill with Belzona using the bell as a former,Everything we dont want Belzona to stick to will have a release agent painted on it.Without a seal the bell should just fall under its own weight,i will put back shims before we do the job so as to have some adjustment.If this works it will save a lot of cases as they are rare as the proverbiable.I dont see any reason why this shouldnt be a success keeping it neat and tidy might be a different story.:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Lapping the two together with grinding paste,this took a long time to get right, I had to keep cleaning the paste away then remove a shim try the resistance then start again. It worked a treat and i was verry pleased with the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brings back memories! Rebuilding Ferret wheel stations and lapping in the spherical seatings, then shimming for correct fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) Nice to see something renovated like that using 'older' skills CW, well done. There can't be that many people these days who know much about the use of grinding paste for valves etc . Not like the old days when you had Motor engineers not technicians, most garages had lathes etc and parts were made rather than just bought from a factor. Another thing that comes to mind is engineers blue, I mentioned it one day in the canteen in the main dealers where I worked and there were a lot of blank looks amongst the younger techys.

Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Spend most of my time on these modern electrics:argh:nice to do something more basic and saving the case from the scrap was good.

gritineye Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Good work CW, just as Degsy says, a fitter could only fit a new one! I presume the Belzona used can be formulated to suit different metals and uses, does not the grinding paste embed into it? or is it just the same as metal in that respect? looks like good stuff!

Richard Farrant Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 The apprentices always got the good jobs :-D Valve grinding, cleaning pistons & fitting new rings That is how you learnt, Chris. Glad I did my time back then and not today. Far more interesting then, repairing components, not throwing away and we did not need a computor to trace faults. Reckon we are in the same age group :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
