Mikev Sorry, I was wrong with the simultaneous translator!

I said the wrong colors, sorry!

Color Green exhaust valve, an oil seal is rich silicone that resists high temperatures

Black, intake valve, it is a common seal which shall bear far fewer degrees.

SCUSAMI IO NON VOLEVO!!!I'm sorry I DID NOT WANT TO SAY SO!!!

I HAVE TO STUDY THE ENGLISH, IF THIS IS THE THING I KNOW MY WIFE, kill me!

Thanks to the expert advice of my very good friend, Carlo L, I have become very adept, and very fast, at disassembling and reassembling 2-valve heads, to include the clips, opener shims, half rings, and closer shims, along with swapping the valve guide seals. All this, just for evening entertainment. Only a new set of 280mm floating discs sitting on my door step will ever make me feel this wrong has been righted! MikeV

At least one of the half rings did not zip into the outer spaces of my garage, never to be seen again.
