Refurbishing the CT110 84 head
Cleaned and lapped the original valves. They were in usable condition. Buying new valves cost more than I am prepared to pay for this project for now.
Invested in a cheap valve spring compressor.
Did a little porting while I had the opportunity.
Biggest problem is the spark plug doesn't seem to want to budge (I was using a 2ft breaker bar, but not applying to much force). I snapped the 81 plug in the head so id rather not repeat it...
Looks like a fairly new NGK and it does have spark...but not being able to remove it means making lean/rich carburetor adjustments will be difficult...
So the Conundrum now is do I leave it and run it as is knowing the plug could snap trying to remove it engine assembled...
Or do I try to remove it now and deal with the consequences while its on the bench?
Ive got the head upside down reassembled with penetrating fluid covering the spark plug so giving it 24hrs to maybe try a 2nd plug extraction...
