Hey Rocky,
Congrats on firing up your engine. Can't wait for your driving impressions and more video.
I had to do the following work to mine after suffering a broken valve spring:
- Ported heads, AGAIN - supplier shop did a very poor job
- Surfaced the heads to assure a flat surface to mate to the block
- Replaced valve springs with new dual springs - so long Beehive springs!
- Cleaned up and smoothed the valve witness marks from piston
- New 3-angle valve job
- New Scorpion roller rockers - replaced under warranty due to contact with purshrods
- New rings
- Re-honed block due to scuffing on a couple cylinders
- Polished crank because some metal bits from the breaking valve spring and subsequent rocker damage washed down into the pan and got picked up by the oil pump
I'll hopefully have the engine reassembled by the end of this week, then all that remains is to drop it back in!
