Hope y'all had a safe holiday... not ignoring your posts, just got too busy to get on the 'puter.

First: pro60chevy... checked as you suggested. Ordered new set of comp cams' lifters that they recommend for my cam. Should be here by Thursday.

Second: Denny 'meboy from Illinois... I was surprised to find that one head had the correct rockers (with the rails) and the other did not. I could twist the rockers off the valves with my hand. Perhaps a clue there, eh? I have new rockers, push rods, pivots and nuts for both heads.

Removed the heads and took 'em to "Lee" to have them inspected. He found all the valve guides worn. He'll replace the guides, do a valve job and make sure all is ok.

Anything I need to be sure is done to the heads before I get 'em back? I don't want to leave anything important out, but I'm not made of $$$ :-)

btw... these are 193 heads... should i just dump 'em and go for something else? The whole head thing has me going in circles...
