I won a fully refurbished Cylinder Head on ebay for £40 what a bargain
It arrived this weekend so i set to work on that whilst the weather was fowl
Pictures -

New hardened valve guides -

It came fully skimmed -

New hardened unleaded valve seats -

I then lapped my valves in ( 3 Minutes on course and 3 minutes on fine )
They all have a really good seal around the seats now -

All numbered up ready to be fitted -

Thats about it for today.
Once i have the valves fitted with new springs i will be painting the head the same colour as the block
Also if the weather is good next week i can finish fitting the front end
All comments very welcome
