It’s been a bit, but I’m chipping away at things.
Engine-wise I had hoped to get away with a quick valve lapping with new seals and springs to match my cam choice.
The valve guides felt a little loose, but I don’t do a ton of engine work so I got out the dial indicator and actually did a quickie valve guide clearance check. I came up with .010 on some of the exhaust valves so I stopped there. The max is somewhere less than .005 as I recall.
Time to call the machine shops. It’s around $800 to start with and goes up from there depending on what parts you may need.
I started looking at other options just to see.
There’s a lot of reman heads out there for under $800, but I don’t like going that fleaBay route for this kind of stuff.
I lucked out and found a set of ported 317s thru LS1 tech. New in the boxes for the same money as getting mine redone.
