[Just-in-credible]

Well, I can tell you one thing. Good heads are expensive…because they are worth it. Getting these junk yard heads cleaned up, and back together has been a lot more work than I expected. Either way, it was an interesting process to do.

I started with engraving the valve number on each valve so I wouldn’t mix them up once they got lapped. I got some lapping compound from the local auto parts store, and got to work. I lightly greased each valve stem, gave the valve seat a light coating of lapping compound, and chucked it in the drill. I tried to keep the time and pressure as even as I could with each valve. I think they seem to have turned out nice. We will see when I get them back together I guess.

I also added new seals and springs while i was at it. I ordered the Comp valve spring kit to match the cam that I will be running.

Pictures are of a before and after on the valve seat.
