Default something new to my garage

It'* a bit... old.... It runs though. I need to get some oil for the cutting stone and I'm in business!

And what good is it to do the valves if you can't do the heads?

WE NEED BETTER PICS!!

I'm jealous, man. I love old tools. Wish I could afford to buy more pieces like that.

Here is the sludge that I just dumped into an L36 oil pan. It came out of recirculating coolant tank.

The price of this whole setup was the best part.

All I can say is... For everything I have received, and the condition it is in, I will absolutely positively never complain about the fact that new stones are at least $28/ea.
