hellride96 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 had cylinders powder coated, took a week and so i forgot how the VALVES themselves go back into the cylinder, they fit both ways, but on one side there are 2 grooves that had been cut out of the valves, and the other side is smooth. so therefore do i install the grooves up or down. thanks Quote
Ruko Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 I don't remember if the grooves go up or down but I'm pretty sure they will only clear the piston one way when they are all the way in... they have more of a relief on one side to match up with the bore... I think... it's been a while since I put mine together... :shrug: Quote
