I finally got the heads removed on the '80 westy......
What a pain to get down to them(did it with the engine
still in situ...after all you wasserboxer guys do it that
way.....)
I removed the left with no visable damage (had 60# in #3)
...but when removing the right bank......WOW!!!! The intake
valve has NO seat at all!....and no apparent damage to the
head, cylinder, bore etc!!!!! amazing! as if the material
of the seat just disintegrated..


I guess I'll be dropping them off at a local machine-shop
to be looked at and repaired....so if anything should be
looked at or done, let me know.


Paul
