I remember to turn the stupid camera on about 1/3 of the time. I want to get the new remote start for the go pros and put it on the dash with a big sticky reminding me to turn it on then to turn it off!

We removed the valves and springs from the head. I washed the head and cleaned up the exhaust ports. I smoothed the ports and removed the casting flash. I used a small Dremel wire brush to polish the surface after smoothing the exhaust ports.

The block and crankshaft was taken to the machine shop. Hopefully, I will have them back later this week.
I smoothed out the head ports and installed new valve seals and installed the valves. I had to make my own spring compressor tool. I welded a piece of angle iron to a large C-clamp to compress the valves and used a spacer on the valve end. It worked like a charm.
