    B1550 not starting after replacing cylinder head

    yeah I though so too and I tried to lapp the valves myself but it didn't work compression increased but the fix was to have them re-cut the valve seats when I contacted the seller they didn't even know what it meant to lapp the valves. Good thing is I bought it from Amazon and they have whats...

    B1550 not starting after replacing cylinder head

    Especially since Kubota is not offering this part anymore. My Kubota dealer said this part is discontinued. The only option is to buy an after market cylinder head and get a valve job done.

Now all three valves are giving 150 PSI which is still below 350 PSI minimum for the tractor. I need to get some fitting to inject air into the glow plug...
