Yeah, after 40 seconds I spotted it. I've got some non turbo heads with worthless valves here. If you offer something you might get lucky.

All that casting removing you done, was that with a dremel?

My blocks all stripped down now. Any tips on the casting removal? I've got minimal experience with dye grinders. I was thinking about using a dremel too as its what I have access to.

A poor dremel isn't really up for such abuse. It'll probably nibble away at the task for maybe an hour, ~ then spontanous combustion!

I built a special attachment for doing this job, it's an extension that fits in to a decent sized rotary grinding device & then has a tungsten carbide dooflicky on it Twisted Evil

So a dremel wouldn't be the best thing to use? I guess I could go buy an air grinder or borrow one.
