Head Work.

So the 'nice and cheap' head is here, looks to be in good nic, with all valves still in-place and no funny marks or gouges anywhere..



New Head bolts have landed too, and i should be receiving some uprated valve springs and Solid lifters/buckets next week.

The plan of attack is to remove all the valves, check them over and see if they need a valve grind or not. If not i will then attempt to port & polish the head myself, taking minimal out of the inlet as its big enough, but trying to take what i can out of the exhaust.
I found a good guide here that im going to follow.!

Once ive polished it all up, ill stick the valves back in and use some grinding paste to seat them in.
Then install the new springs, and check the bucket clearances.
Then i will get it planned down (to a still undecided amount) and stick it on..

Will keep you posted!!
