Vaughan,
This morning I read the adventures of an Australian SOLer at the races.
It took them not even a day (rather hours?) to pull the head, change the
valve and (not quite machine it but) work on the valve seat and get it
going again - if I remember correctly. I was quite impressed. I know it
shouldn't take much longer, but why does it actually take usually so
long?
Maybe you have in your TR7 a different setup, i.e. maybe an OHC ?
At least this should remind us that after all it shouldn't be a big deal.
Cheers,
Gus
