Not much can be ...

Re: Valve Seat Recession questions
Could it be damaged teeth on the ring gear? Something I have found on some cars the starter needs to be pushed towards the engine when tightening the bolts/nuts especially on non standard starters. I have seen some starters with over large mounting holes maybe to allow for manufacturing tolerances,...

Re: Valve Seat Recession questions

I am sure he said the inserts alone are about £30 each. I'll double check when I call back, but I don't think it was per valve.. I was expecting it...
