[QUOTE="dfb, post: 123970, member: 11792"] Motor on the stand will make it much more "civilized" to work on, nice job. The head being warped is what I would expect after seeing how badly that gasket was blown, resurfacing it to achieve a flat surface is critical to give the new gasket a fighting chance. I would strongly recommend you inquire with the machinist if he can vacuum test the valves also, with an overheated engine{yours was}, bent valves can be a common result. BTW, once you get those cylinders cleaned up be sure to keep them coated in oil so they do not flash rust. [/QUOTE]
