Ultrasonic cavitation in the GTA?

[TheDirty]

yes.....

but much softer

I think you are thinking metal = steel. Brass, steel, aluminium, gold, bronze, tin, its all metal.

When you say not a metal wheel, use a brass wheel, it's like saying, not a fish, use a salmon.

Sorry to be technical, but it just seemed humorous.

whatever, we all have our ways of doing things, what works for me might not work for you or anyone else

it was a suggestion and nothing more.

ah the classic darksider argument. Sorry but "it's worked so far" doesn't negate "it's a path to failure".

Most modern valves are Ti and have a coating that once removed makes the valve wear rapidly, I believe that the steel ones have the same coating which is why you can't resurface valves.

I have used a small wire wheel cup in a power drill numerous times to clean combustion chambers and routinely clean carbon from valves with a bench grinder mounted wire wheel. The sky is still above my head and does not appear to be getting closer....

Ultrasonic cleaning is a "fad"... We just bought ourselves an Industrial sized one and all it does is increase the power bill....

Cool, glad it works for you. Any real motor builder will tell you this and won't do your backyard mechanic valve cleaning. They sky won't fall and the world will still turn but your motors will burn up valves in modern engines. Try calling a real builder and ask them to resurface a ti valve for you.
