Just as a quick update I wanted to post this picture of where I am at as of tonight. The head was completely cleaned and the valves were resurfaced and lapped in properly. My machinist said that the valve seats had been updated for the modern fuel we now have at the pumps. The head was resurfaced, cleaned up like new and inspected for in perfections... everything is just fine. It didn't take long to check the valves either. I loosened up the clearance just a bit per someone's advice. This engine is going to run great!



When I have a chance I'll be updating and talking about such things as the dreaded engine mount replacement, the powdercoating, the breather covers and gaskets, gasket dressings used, the new ARP head studs and hardware added, manifold paint, other hardware and the headwork done +more details. Not bad for a couple days of engine work. I plan on starting it up and taking it out for a spin tomorrow. :lol:
