Questions & Answers

Do you think this would work on a Briggs and Stratton 5 HP engine?

The answer is yes. As a mower mechanic, I fix a lot of things. It usually means riding mowers, zero turn mowers or lawnmowers with a little bit bigger engine. Small Briggs engines are a good fit for this. I wish you the best of luck Glen

What about narrow spaces for light bulbs? Do you think these would work? Would you mind describing the flat halogen bulbs in more detail?

I'm afraid that this is not an actual tool for changing halogen

Could you let me know how big and how long these brushes are? In the engine compartment, can they reach deep into the space?

It is not for brushing. It is for lapping valves.

It comes in a set of two. Can you tell me why I get charged twice for 1 as quantity if I put it in as one?

Your cart may have been added twice by mistake. Check the quantity in your cart. Before, I put two extensions on my ratchet and I ended up with two extensions.

Lay your head on your lap
5/5

Despite being old (in my case a 1947 John Deere valve), the valves took care of everything. Spit on the cup and it will suction better (this should be obvious) but don't leave it sitting around for too long. annoyed that their vacuum does not suction, geez, there are cream puffs everywhere these days!.

My understanding is that poor craftsmen point the finger at their tools
3/5

It took a while for me to warm up to those Do you remember the last time you got suctioned This bow is for a cup- You can use a suction-cup set or an and-arrow set You used to shoot darts out of a cup when you were a kid, didn't you? Do they have lousy suction cups that don't stay put? That is what I was reminded of while playing this lapper. They will fall off if anything is on the surface of the valve. There is no doubt that some guys can use these things from YouTube videos. There are none of them who are like me. In fact, after discovering a workaround, I was feeling a little down As they sit around, I can't imagine how anyone would want to use them at all

After trying to use them all day, As an example (a), I chuck the stem end of a valve into (1)I ripped off a suction cup from one of the lappers, (2)I used a raw wood end to press into a lapping compound by pressing against the valve face. (d) I cranked the valve forward for a short time, then cranked it backward for a brief time. It works well since I was able to get an even, concise, bright pattern on all valves with little fuss (e). You can use a dowel or a screwdriver handle to bear down on the valve as you spin it with a drill instead of lappers.

It is of poor quality and comes with a poor In addition to scoring two stars instead of one, I would recommend this product to those looking to get a great value
3/5

There are a lot of brushes for such a low price. The point is. A problem and a problem. recently blew out the dust seals in the intake valves of my car by using a midsized nylon brush. After a few minutes of careful use, the brush broke. While I used a few others (even more carefully) and none broke after the first day, it is not great to have a product needing to be replaced on the first day. It turns out that brushes aren't covered by the "lifetime warranty!" I mean it! This brush set is covered by a lifetime warranty, but the brushes are not covered (based on the packaging). The whole thing is.

This tool is perfect for the job
5/5

Valve lapping tools that are perfect! It was easy to lap my valves. Some of the guys complaining that they are not sticking, or don't work right, are just ignorant, and maybe they can spend a bit more time watching By the way. Using a wire brush to remove the porus carbon from the valves before sticking a suction cup to them will make the process much easier. The knowledge you have of basic science is all you need. You shouldn't be anywhere near an engine at all if you don't understand even that.

Suction is not very strong
3/5

A constant stream of exhaust kept coming off. A lapping tool like this works well on larger valves, but not on smaller ones. The task turned from a 20-minute task to a two-hour one. To lap the exhaust valve on a 16 HP Briggs and Stratton OHV riding lawn tractor engine, I used the smaller suction cup end of the tool, since the larger suction cup would not fit onto the exhaust valve (which is smaller than the fuel intake valve). There is little to no suction. This thing kept falling off the valve, which meant that I had to clean the suction cup and the valve constantly. In the event that the grinding compound gets under the suction cup (even the smallest amount), the game is As the cup comes off, it falls to the ground. To continuously wipe off the suction cup and valve head I had to keep a small container of water on hand. This is what pain is all about. As a result, it took me nearly two hours to grind the valve seat and valve so that they lined up perfectly. I have blisters! Utilizing this tool, I was able to get a perfect fuel intake valve lapping. suction cup of the small model had more surface area for holding onto since the fuel intake valve is larger and it produced great suction. In all, it took me about 10 minutes to lap the intake valve of the fuel tank. In other words, I would say that this tool would work well for larger valves. Smaller valves do not require such a high pressure.

This makes it easy for it to pop off
4/5

There is a third valve after this. Although this tool can be a pain, it is definitely worth trying out if you're willing to pay a reasonable price for it. There's a problem with it not staying suctioned very well, especially if oil gets in between the suction and the valve, which results in it popping off It took me a while to get used to it and I developed ways to keep it sticking longer after the third valve. It is recommended to dry both surfaces, and to wipe the In order to keep the tool working, I would spin it so long that it stays on. I live in a small town, so it's more convenient to feel it by hand than to use a drill and other tools. As a first-time engine restorer, I wanted to do it the hard way to make sure I did it correctly. A drill would have been faster, but I wanted to try it the hard way first. Next time I'll try sticking a rubber hose/tube on the other end of the valve and spinning it that way. I think I can still feel how to lap the valve that way, and the rubber hose/tube would stay on better. For now, you need to be patient with this tool and understand that it has a not-very-strong suction. It takes some time to get used to, but you will learn how to manage it.

There was a bit of a hit and miss factor with my valves because they were cupped
4/5

You get a lot for your money with these. They will work best if you have flat valves. Mine were cupped so I did not get them stuck too long. I got quite a few "turns" before they came off, and they came off constantly after that. A few turns of electrical tape were placed on the end of the valve stem and a drill clamped lightly to the end of the valve was used to turn it back and forth. The tools I have in my collection are great, though I am glad I have them.

The tool is excellent
5/5

Performs the work as intended, does a fine job of finishing it. The valve heads were solid on the work bench and I ended up drilling with a variable speed 3/8 drill hooked to the valve stem on low to speed up the process. A valve has been installed. The drill was thrown firmly but not tightly into the valve stem tip. Lightly press on the valve and no problems emerged. There is no need to grasp the stem too hard you might mar the stem tip. I did not have to apply too much force to prevent it from slipping. Neither the valve stems nor the valve tips show any marks. You need to run it low and keep an eye on it and how it's looking An alignment of the head is necessary. It is possible to feel a fine grinding sound when the valve head is properly seated on the seat. For this step, I used a felt ink pen to check the fit of the valve and the seat, and used this tool to turn the valve. Despite the rough feel and incorrect placement of the bevel, both the valve seat and the valve head were polished and shiny. In automobile valve repairs, you will have to spend a lot of time using this tool, as it will do everything, but you will feel like a caveman starting a fire with it.
