Clean up started, valves also cleaned up but can't find my emery cloth to finish so all will now have to wait till I come back from Hols. Stem seals arrived this morning but will be a while till they go back in

By the time it has cooled off the bolt will be fairly likely to surrender, still a bit of scope for things to go wrong, but I've done less damage with the welder thn the drill over the years.1958 Ford Consul Convertible.
