Victory at last! Had to get a buddie, AND use the hoist. Then wiggle the head about 8,000 times...Cleaned the head some but was ready to call it a night. I will clean the crap out of it tomorrow tho. Got to figure out if my valve compressor is gona work on this motor without pulling the intake and exhaust too. What a pain in the rusted a$$!!! It WILL run, and run good too, weather it wants to or not! JW how do I lap the valves properly, also how worn can the guides be if the valves are sticking in them? What do you mean by refacing the valves? I for sure want to do it right the first time. Anyone else have any tips for me? Thanks
