Long block mock up

Springs come in tmro

heads get reassembled
I never get to rebuild cylinder heads completely myself .
Honestly Never pulled a valve out my self .. done rockers and lifters on some cars but never pulled a valve out and inspected it
Done head gaskets but never got a valve out till this project and I gotta say ! Deff easier then I thought and thereputic valve lapping is lol
Never lapped a valve (done)
gasket matched or ported a head (done)
Was quite the weekend
I have 1 7/8 long tubes rolling in any day now .. so I was just looking at them with my neighbor after lapping the valves and noticed how dramatic the oval was on the 862 heads …. Sooo
