We are all entitled to think what we want, if you don't like what I have to say, too bad. A one sided post isn't informative and frankly nothing can be learned from it. We are all adults and can have our own opinions, so I'll continue to add what I feel is necessary, take it or leave it, I don't care.

Speaking of the heads, from what I've understood the reason Paul talked to the shop is because they didn't agree with the spring seat pressure and Paul had to reassure them they are what was needed in this engine.

Like I said before that noise sounds just like pre-ignition from too much timing at idle. Speaking of idle, Thanks to Paul's sharp eye, the reason it's not idling in your video is because you don't have a carb stud in there, and that particular carb needs a stud there or it creates a huge vacuum leak. So it's running in that photo, extremely lean as well.
