Managed to pull a cylinder head off my 5.3 today. It's pretty dark inside, like I suspected, but it appears stock bore so I'm guessing the tag on the frost plug is from a salvage yard and not a rebuilder.

It was an uneventful morning in the bow stand so I came back to the house and replaced the bad u joint in my plow truck.

Do you have the ability to cut valve seats Ed? I have a small neway cutter set for small engines and it's amazing! Just a little pricey.

We have a valve grinder at work.
80% of the pieces and parts are missing.

I was going to hit them with a bit of lapping compound and see how they look. If they aren't what I'm wanting, I'll have to have a machine shop go at them.

My stepdad had my stepbrother and myself lap valves with a crank tool that looked like an egg beater with rubber arrow tip on it. That seem to take forever.

I only have the version you roll between your hands with a different size cup on each end. I've had to replace valves in used heads many times and have not had any issues with getting them to seal with a bit of manual labor. Of course the end result of a 5+angle valve job that the car magazines tell you that are required to make more than 100hp isn't achievable.

I chuck the valve stem in a drill.....use lapping compound on the valve seat....and spin.
