Well, I've got a leaking exhaust valve on the #6 cylinder in my '74 TR6.
My mechanic is going to be removing the head and will call me over when
it's off and time for a diagnosis.
At the very least I'll probably need a valve job, so I was wonder what else
I should do to the head while it's off (in terms of simple performance
enhancements.) I don't know if I would want to shave the head or get a
fancy valve grind, but I think freeing up the flow in the exhaust might
be worthwhile.
So what else should I do while the head is off? (And assuming the problem
with the valve is simple enough that I'll have some money left over for
unnecessary work.) What kind of things should be done to make it better
for unleaded gas? I've read about brass valve seats and such. Any other
ideas?
It might be nice to come up with a list of the Top 10 things to do to your
head.
Thanks all.
Bill
