Tore into the head yesterday and started cleaning her up some. Not as bad as first thought. Valves look good and the sets were'nt in too bad of shape so thinking lapping them back in and putting her back together.

New goodies for my toy.
Got new valve spring, cam and lifter kit, rings and bearings along with new mains also. New timing gear.
Got the valves lapped in and they turned out great. Brought a ridge reamer and cut the ridge out of the block and honed the cylinders today. Will try to get to the crank tomorrow and polish it a little.
Moving right alone now.
A friend who goes to our local tech college talked to his teacher and he agreed to install the new cam bearings free of charge........ gotta love those freebies
Thats where I am as of today.

PS: get a move on it Perley. Stop hunging the stove and get outside and get something done even if its wrong......
