Indeed looking forward to it, thanks Paul....I'm just hoping that my company doesn't send me to the middle of nowhere in July! Since the trouble in Libya has put that trip on hold I may be off to France or Belgium....should be nice.

Does anyone have a drawing for or could anyone lend me the Flathead V8 valve guide drifting tool? Having spent decades of hard use then a good deal of time in the wet the guides are stuck in the block. The simple design requires you to pop the valve retaining cap, remove the spring, draw down the guide and slip out the retaining clip. The trouble is if the guide is stuck in place you can't remove the clip! A special drift was manufactured which has a kink to go under the head of the poppet valve and drift the guide down into the valley.
