2 minute(s) of a 636 minute read

was prepping to take the engine to the machine shop when they called me about my head !! it was ready for pick up.

he said it was warped .008 and had to machine off .012 to get it flat and cleaned up. 

when checking the valves (which held vacuum and passed test) he found that ALL of the valve guides were worn out and trash, and that one of them had been bored out and a larger diameter valve stem was installed so he did new valves guides, and made a new valve to math the existing ones. so now all 12 match. he did a valve job and cleaned them all up, seats were new and cleaned them up as well. also machined the manifold surface.

dropped off the engine when i picked up the head.

went over plan of action, and told him if he needs any parts, call me, any questions, call me, unsure, call me  so he knows to call me

going to strip it down and clean it up first. then determine required bore to clean it up

figure 6+ weeks at least, hoping to have it done and back to me by end of the year !! be my christmas present
