Mission creep: head removal - carbon cleaning; carbon cleaning - valve lapping/grinding; valve job - new rings; new rings - hone cylinders; hone cylinders - new rod bearings; new rod bearings - new main bearings; new main bearings - new timing chain; and so it goes. This was called an engine overhaul back in the day. Not to mention new hoses, plugs, points & condenser, and oil & air filters. Gaskets, oil, coolant, and miscellaneous parts are part of it too. Don't forget to clean the distribution tube and radiator. But, when you were through, you had an engine that would serve you well for many more years and thousands of miles. As one of our parts suppliers says: "Do it the first time, do it right."
