Sooo 9 months later, but the first time I've been through this and I have to ask. Do your heads have hardened valve seats? Modern gas burns hotter (or something like that) and will eat the valve seats away... and it doesn't take terribly long from what I understand. Otherwise nice build... makes me want to buy some specialty tools and get back into it, I made a fair amount of cash rebuilding engines in high school, but I honestly just love doing it...

Yea, the heads already had hardened seats. I just had a basic valve job/rebuild done to them. I had fun putting it together, although I only really redid the top end. Never pulled the bottom end apart, as it only had 5,000 miles on a rebuild already. Next one I build will be a power house! lol Sometimes I wonder if this one will ever get in the car its waiting for lol
