I got the heads back from Paul Burke yesterday. He did his usual fantastic
work on them.
The heads were is really bad shape. Due to at least two bad valve jobs, the
seats were really sunk in the head and hardened exhaust valve seats were
never installed. Paul installed new Chevy (yes, Chevrolet) valves, intake
are 1.72" and exhaust 1.5". He machined three angle seats and the same on
the valves. No stones were used; these are knife edged machine cut angles.

Waiting on the radiator and expansion tank to be painted and then it will be
about finished.....for now. They are really never finished, are they.
