Just thought i'd share the progress for those interested...
got the head back today,all guides and valves were in good condition,with no wear.

the intake ports recieved the most attention,with the valve guide being rounded and a general tidy up of the remaining area.
there was no need for a mirror finish as this is truly OVERKILL.



The exhaust port had a mild touch up,mostly to remove the buildup of carbon etc,some work was also done around the valve stem area.



the valve seats got a re-grind to the valve grinders liking,and the chamber roof got a clean up with removal of any sharp edges that could eventually induce pre-ignition.




So just waiting on the JE pistons now before we re-assemble the engine!...cant wait!...
