By the way, that's my first iron head to work on and I like it pretty much. It's very forgiveable, the walls would only move if you push on them, but when you go deeper some strange stuff may happen: it seems like the hardness is different in different parts of combustion chamber, so if you use a small burr it may dig in some places and leave high spots in other -the result would look kinda awful. So be careful once you dig into deeper (lower) layers of the iron.

Timing cover had undergone few repairs.

The cracked bolt portion was cut out and rewelded completely. Soon to shape it and glass bead again.

I wasn't really happy with the "billetness" of TA Perf valve locks.

The surface is very rough. The stock stamped ones have some dents too. Can't decide which ones to put.

finally, got a chamber volume checker laser cut from 10 mm plexiglass, still need a burette

Oh, I forgot about the valve guides!

Here they are. (They are discussed in the video a little)
