The head has been completely stripped and rough-ported, guide bores and seat recesses machined, and the new valve seats and guides are in. Bill tells me that the deeper he gets into the head, the better it looks - there has been a minimum of butchery over the years. Next he needs to hunt up suitable valves or perhaps make them (he's picky), select cams, and design the pistons.

- General view of the head with annotations. Black paint allows use of IR gun to read head temperature while fitting guides or seats.

- Close-up of seats blended to ports, with some clean-up still to do.

I love the sound of a torque wrench in the morning. Sounds like... progress.
