OT jeep question

My mate has just put an ex generator engine into his 1944 Willys after a struggle. The trouble is that despite checking to see that the engine turned over freely one exhaust valve was seized open from 50 odd years lack of use.



In freeing the valve he has damaged the valve seat in the block so is looking for a manual valve seat cutter. I've asked on another group but these once familiar tools seem to have disappeared apart from 1 Ozzie item on ebay. Apart from making a simple flycutter has anyone any ideas? He very much wants to avoid taking the engine out.

I did a quick scan of fleabay and found an old manual kit #220151087109 failing that I'd favour a specialist workshop doing the job in situ. Derek

Nice find, thanks, I'll forward the link. There are precious few workshops I know near Petersfield , where the jeep sits.
