Big strides were made in the garage last night, the best of which was the complete rebuild of the valves and top end. Nice.
It's not hard, but it's not easy, either. The parts go together fairly obviously, and you can see the process in any haynes manual, so I'm not going to jabber on about it. However, there IS a step that was new to me - lapping in the new valves. (Yes, Roy, I know how dumb that makes me sound.)
After all of our fidgeting with the head, we've badly tarnished the aluminum, so it's going back to polish again. After that, it's ready to install. Awesome.
