So today wasn’t as productive. I did get the other cylinder head disassembled. Haven’t started cleaning it though. The first one I got cleaned up and brought it inside to check install heights. Every single one was between 1.795 and 1.800. No shims needed on this head. That leaves me with 130 lbs seat pressure, 356 lbs at max lift, and 0.114” before coil bind at max lift. On both heads, valve guides were previously serviced with the coil type bronze liners (just noticed that one). All guides are nice and tight. All valve seats look new. So it’s just a matter of cleaning, painting, and assembling (and checking installed height on the other head). Both heads though had a boatload of carbon build up in the exhaust ports. It was coming out in chunks. Oh well, I’ll get them clean. I can’t even begin to describe how stoked I am!
