Prussian Blue High Spot Paste and Spray

 

 

VSC1000 valve spring compressor; HS1 cast aluminum head stands  

 

Part Number Product Description Price
PB1 Prussian Blue Paste-.55 oz. in a tube high spot lay out dye. Use to take impressions from intake manifold gaskets to the manifold for a more accurate porting job & on valve seats for judging width & size during valve jobs $9.00
PB2 Prussian Blue Hi Spot Spray-5 oz. for lay out & mating of surfaces. Use on valves for imprint transfer to check for 360° contact, width of seat & top margin location.  Spray lightly on valve face, hold above seat by the spring seat side of head, be sure not to smear dye as this could prevent an accurate transfer.  With the valve up off the seat put your finger on top the valve in the center & push to smack it down onto the seat in the head. Do not rotate the valve.  Push it up off the seat from the spring seat side of the head, grab the stem without touching face of valve.  After removal examine for any gaps or  stippled impression on the valve face.  If there is not a complete 360° impression the valve job is not good.  Wipe it off & start over $6.00
