Here I hope to change a 15/17 head to a 16/19 it was not planned like this. But when discovering a broken glider I had no choice.
I have to renew the gliders and then I will use the 4,5mm valves because I have more options in those.
Lets see how far I come.
Broken valve glider.
Sadly it broke.
You can see it was longer like that.
Have to renew the gliders, now i will use the 4,5mm valves as they are easier to get hold off.
I have a new 16/19 set so will be using this.
First i need to make a Tool to enlarge the ports.
Start machining a disk with an M12 bold in it.

You see it spinning.
Enlarge the ports.
Some more space for the 19mm valve.
