#155266 im wanting to take the old valves in my head and put them in the new head. the reason is the valves in the new head are broken. as in chips on the bottom taken out. what would you guys recommend doing for someone who is very low on cash, and has a limited supply of help? im doin this myself along with help from my girls dad.


iv heard that the valves in the heads are seated meaning they are made for that certain head. is this true? i know i need to make sure all the clearances are tip top. should i get a lapping tool to help with this? and if so how much do they normally run?


if you guys have anymore info please tell me. im hopin to get this thing runnin by monday.

car is 95 civic with d15b7

#155819 as long as the two heads are the same it should be fine
just make sure you re lap them
dont get a dumb little dowwel thing tho just use ur hands the regrind liquid is a couple of bucks
make sure you get new valve stem seals
and take ur time
DO NOT rush lapping it will bite you in the ass later all this should cost like 45 to 50 bucks total i would guess
