Thanks for all the tips. My antique eBay valve driver is doing the trick so far, even on a broken one! I heard that new guides are tricky to install because if hit too hard they can squeeze in like an hourglass and become impassible. That might be a step I leave to a professional same as the block cleaning and resurfacing, assuming the project takes me to that point.

The upper engine suffered the worst from years of exposure. Does anyone know if this casting has separate valve seats that should be forced out, or am I only looking at the rusted rim of the cast block?
