today ive cleand the workbench and the garage up a bit so ive got the head on the bench have taken out number 1 exhust valves and i have found carbon foulings on the seats the valves themselves look good!
i think this engine needs a damn good de carbon and a refresh
and it will be a good one![Smile Smile](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/smile.png)
Valve seats need lapping in but look good other than the carbon
Valves themselves look good other than the build up of carbon
what i need to know now is how do i know if the head has any meat left for skimming
how do you measure the original head hight or whats left of the head ????
