It's been rough going this winter but I'm now getting things back together on this 8n overhaul. Anyhow they put new valves with the adjustable lifters in and drilled holes to hold them while adjusting. I was able to get the #1 exhaust set but it turned very, very, very hard.
On the #1 intake all I did was chew up my wrench. I even ground the box end down and lifted the valve to set the wrench in place and it just stripped out the wrench.
The others seem just as tight. I'm going to see if I can find a flair nut wrench to fit in there but I doubt it. I understand that these must be tight but should these these turn THAT hard?

... I brought these from Sosmetal back in the early 80's... They have a magnetic strip to hold them in I have one in the vice to lazy to go get the other... I brought that Craftsman vice around 1975 its served me well..
