I was doing pretty good keeping on the plan until my Dad talked me into pulling the heads to see what the valves looked like and to change out the valve seals. "What's a set of head gaskets cost- nothing!" he said.
Everything looked really good and it was obvious that I was the first one inside the engine. No signs of anybody else ever cracking it open.
I decided since I had it this far apart it would be stupid to not rebuild it properly. It's too much work to do this again in another year or two. I stripped it right down to the bare block.
And made a big pile of parts in the garage....
