I know how to port the heads, but how should I go about doing this with the valves in still in the heads so that shavings don't get lodged in valve area only to be ingested into the engine later? I have an idea, but would like to here how those of you that did it with the valves in the heads. Here is my plan:
Cut out a piece of cardboard (x 6) that I can then tether with string and cover in vasoline. Then slide this into place down into the valve chamber with the strings facing out so that I can later pull the entire "plug" out. When done porting, I would then remove the "plug" and wipe off any remaining vasoline with a solvent. I would finish with a vacuming.
What did you do?
I don't have a valve spring compressor and I'm cutting it very close on the budget for this headache and I don't want to spend the money on the valve spring compressor. I am however not ruling out funding this by MasterCard if I can't do it this way.
