Finally, some progress on the heads!

He had the spring seats setup for proper install height and was finishing up the guides when I stopped in. It's table stakes, but I was glad to see him doing the math on my cam lift and the valve stem seal clearance since that was an issue in my last build. I imagine his choice of guide material will be controversial around here. I was expecting manganese bronze, but he insisted on hardened cast iron based on his experience. Hopefully I'll have them within the week.
