Leaky mitral valve

[Bri w]

Not quite sure if should have been posted in the "bike issues" section but for those of you who are technically adept I need help with a leaky mitral valve.

It would appear I'm not a heartless barsteward, as the ex-wife has always said, but more of a 'lazy' hearted sort of guy.

Anyone with experience of grinding in a new valve, a few hours to spare, and a fetish for rubber gloves would come in useful.

I would advise some more cholesterol to bung the leak..

(sorry to hear that, is there anything they can do?)

Hmm a wipe of some lapping paste and 10 mins of twisting, turn/lift and twist again.

Couldn't happen to my wife as they do not fit valves in blocks of granite.

Hope that doesn't stop you getting you backside over here at the weekend

Silcon sealant, fixes everything

Theres me thinking gaffer tape solved everything in the world!

So perhaps a small modification with trick new bits then?

Have you tried drinking Radweld?

stuff the radweld. extra strong antifreeze should do the trick.







P.S. you wont feel a thing if its anything like a by-pass. tiz eazy peazy. and i'm not bullshizing all i got was paracetamol after the second day.

Sorry to hear that Brian.. my very best wishes for your forthcoming surgery and a full recovery.

You`ll be feeling like a spring lamb afterwards... perhaps you`d best warn the wife!!! :D
