Neway Valve Seat Cutting Tools have been available in the automotive aftermarket for more than 50 years. They have staying power for several reasons:
Let's take a look at each of these points in a little more detail.
Every multi-angle Valve Seat Cutter Blade has two essential measurements and three essential angles. Top Width, Seat Width, Main Angle, Top Angle and Throat Angle. Of course, as the blades become more complex there will be additional angles, measurements, radii ... you name it.
We don't have the room to cover all of the theory behind the angles and how they create air flow in this article, but you can find some great stuff out on the internet if you search. Keep in mind, though, that not everyone knows what they're talking about. Get your information from a reliable source.
Select an expanding pilot that is the same diameter as the valve guide ID.NOTE: DO NOT use Expanding Pilots with multi-angle valve seat cutting systems such as 3-D Fast Cut.
Most of you have looked at the Goodson catalog or the Goodson website. You've noticed there are pages of pilots. Three full pages of pilots. Plus other specialty pilots on other pages. Yup, we counted 'em. There are 380 pilots stocked by Goodson listed in the catalog and on the website.
So how do you know which pilot to use for which job?
The January-March 2018 issue of Engine Professional Magazine from AERA included an excellent article about Thread Repair. If you haven't read it, take some time to do so.
The article includes a section on the Full-Torque spark plug thread repair system, specifically referencing P/N FT-514LTK. Unfortunately, Goodson doesn't carry this product any longer, but it is still available directly from Full-Torque.
It's always great to be mentioned in an Engine Professional but we want you to be able to find the parts you're looking for so head on over to Full Torque and tell 'em Goodson sent you.
Anyone who works on a brake lathe has experienced chatter. It comes with the territory. Today in Tech Notes, we’re going to look at what causes chatter and how to control it.
We’ve talked about resin and vitrified abrasive flywheel grinding stones quite a bit since they’ve been around forever. CBN flywheel stones are becoming more popular so it’s about time we discuss how to get the best performance out of them.
I have a confession to make. I’m addicted to social media. That means I watch a lot of how-to videos on YouTube. Some of them are great, but some of them … not so much. I was watching one the other night when the guy used a pair of vise-grips to pull a dowel pin. I wanted to reach through the screen and rip those pliers out of his hands. Yes, he got the dowel out. But he also crushed it (and not in a good way). Let me be clear, you don’t use vise-grips to pull dowels. You use a dowel puller.
