Thanks, I had found another site regarding the rebuild of an E61 grouphead (I had to sign up for a few things for a UK store, which doesn't ship to the US so I feel a bit bad about it.) and well, I think at this point it's going to be better for me to replace the valves at this time. Next time, i'll be sure to use a wrench with a plastic coating to prevent scratching on parts that shouldn't be scratched. Any idea about the chrome plating? I don't expect that to be a problem with the mushroom, but couldn't find anything about the lack of chrome being a problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
