So I've been waiting on the cyl. head parts I ordered to show up.. that's held me up for about a week... So this past Tuesday the nitride treated valves & guides showed up.
The 3.52 tranny showed up that same day too..
(not much to see here)
So Wednesday morning I took the head to the engine machine shop I usually use, and they did a full valve job, replaced all the guides, and put in the new guide seals I brought them (their usually always included in any head gasket set you buy)...
The shop also found some pitting cavities that they suspected where located at the sealing area of the gasket, so they asked me to bring the gasket in. After sizing the gasket we found the that the two cavities in questions extended across the sealing ring. So it would have leaked compression. So they welded them up and surfaced the head just enough to clean weld.
And to top it all off I went to pick up my head Friday, and wen I cam back from machine shop, the XFI cam I had ordered last week was at my door steps waiting for me.
So now I have everything I need to build the engine and put the engine compartment back together...
Everything except time
