They're working good. I guess they reset after a while. How long I'll find out.

Do you have a multi angle seat cutter set?
If the seats are not beat up, keeping the margins in mind, you might be able to lap in the other valves with very little trouble.
If they are a little wide, maybe using spring shims will increase pressure seal enough anyhow.
I say that because it’s not a race engine and your not constantly flogging it.

My friend Jeff has a set. I may wind up replacing the guides as well.
"I say that because it’s not a race engine and your not constantly flogging it."
:lol: You've seen my clips, when don't I flog it? :woohoo:
I just wish I could afford to send it to Larry or someone like him to perform their magic.
I'd like to get back into it to install crank studs and have the crank welded but that's not in the cards.
A 1105 kit would be nice too.:whistle:
