    I had to pull the engine on my 1979 308 GTS because the rear cam belt drive pulley bearing is toast with so much play in the shaft that the inner bearing is more than likely toast as well. Since I've got the engine out, I may as well replace the sodium exhaust valves with stainless steel valves, and possibly work on the cylinders. The heads are as stuck on as you would expect of a 40 year old engine that has never been apart before. Does anyone have a made-up head removal tool for a 2V 308 that you are willing to lend, rent, or sell?

    Also, my first choice for a machine shop in Seattle (Action on Aurora) is too busy with their regular jobs to risk working on an exotic, so does anyone in the PNW know of a good machine shop to do the valves (and maybe block work if necessary)? Any leads will be much appreciated.

    Re Machine Shop: Autosport in Ballard. Excellent work and John owns a couple of Ferrari’s himself. Last time I was there he had a 246 motor, an older 12 and a transaxle from a Lancia Aurelia. Be prepared to wait however....

    My 330 GT front hubs are at Autosport now for rotor grinding and new bearings.
