Going 600 Holley my jeep is a 1987 and was pre fuel injection, motor is a 4.0 from 1995, it has the better casting head, had LS1 valves put in and 5.9 liter valve springs from mopar performance, my jeep has the 4.2 in it rated at 110hp
I had a 1980 CJ7 with a 258 in it. It got a Comp cam, blackjack headers, and Offy manifold, ported heads and a 390 Holley 4 barrel. It went surprisingly well.

Base Gasket Delete. It’s when the cylinder is installed without a base gasket as to tighten up the piston to head squish clearance. A sealant like dirko, yamabond or the like is used to seal the cylinder base to the crankcase instead of the gasket

Honda GC160 on a pressure washer that was overspeeding. I think that the last person to work on it really had no idea of what they were doing. Found carb to block spacer installed incorrectly not allowing throttle plate full range of motion. Carb is swimming and I have a new spacer/insulator on the way along with new intake gaskets.

Worked on pulling the head off on the generator with the suspected dropped exhaust valve seat but the head bolts gave me grief...gonna bring my turbo sockets home and give the last head bolt a try as the head started to strip on me.

Put a socket over the bolt head and smack it with a hammer a few times...
The "shock waves" can loosen the dis-similar metal corrosion that is likely acting as super strength loctite.

I'll definitely try that tomorrow. I was starting to get frustrated so I walked away from it for the night. It took a 2 foot long 1/2 drive breaker bar to get the other ones broken free then my 1/2 drive DeWalt cordless impact got them out

Understand that all too well....

I've had good luck with smacking the end of the breaker bar while applying a "little twist" as well...

I'm going to bring my turbo sockets home from work as well. The head of the bolt is buggered and any amount of torque applied the socket cams out and slips.

Try the turbo socket with a hand impact driver and hammer.
They tend to work better than an impact gun at breaking loose the corroded bolt with less chance of wringing it off.

I used the hand impact on 1970s era Japanese motorcycle bolts and saltwater outboards.
Lots of rust buster, liquid wrench etc. and soak overnight before trying to break loose the offending bolts.

Yes the "barbaric" hand held impacts work exceptionally well. Holds the twisting torque as the "shock wave" is applied.

Tore into the Cub Cadet. Fixing the slow reverse issue, common problem with the 3000 series. Cub used a slot on one of the reverse linkages and it makes for a ton of play in the pedal, eventually the reverse speed gets extremely slow. Fix is to weld a washer over the slot and make it a regular round hole.

Also fixing a fuel tank leak. Waiting on a grommet to put it back together.
