Over the past couple of days, I've been lapping valve and putting all the guts back into the head
Complete pain in the fucking ass hole!! I hate valve collets with a passion!
Numbered the head 1-16



Valves and seats before





After



Little bit of pitting left in that seat was soon after removed



Put the spring seats, stem seals and valves into place





Inlet side done



Put the springs, retainers and collets in



Done



Just need to put the tappets and cams in ect then head is done. That can be done nearer the end tho
